I, for one, would much rather see free pre-school than free community college. That said, I don't know what the price per pupil of pre-school vs. CC is, but I do know that there's a preponderance of evidence that pre-school helps to set kids up for a more successful education for years down the road. Hopefully, those students would then be more likely to be college ready and perhaps pay for CC or university on their own. Like I said below, it's not as if CC debt is what is crushing America to begin with. But a general debt of education, one that starts as early as birth, is plaguing a lot of our youngest citizens, especially those from poor backgrounds.
