And I agree. Which is why it's painfully obvious that nothing like this would ever happen in the US. However, there may be a day when our "national survival" depends on something like this.

American Opportunity Tax Credit. This fully refundable credit will ensure that the
first $4,000 of a college education is completely free for most Americans, and will cover two-thirds the cost of

The 100 hours for college is only if you want the $4000 tax credit
