That’s true. Unfortunately, calling it free is often used by people who want to paint it as infeasible, and is used as an excuse to cut funding—even when data shows it’s an investment with human and monetary rewards.
Conservative America is driven so hard by the fear of somebody poorer than you getting something you're not.
America wants things to be free when it’s for themselves, but not to pay a dime to benefit anyone else
As far as everyone except oligarchs are concerned, it means everyone can access it without getting financially fucked over into debt. And that's excellent news.
incorrect slightly- while most boomer and right wing assholes know it means free at point of service and tax funded they act like it means “free for welfare queens and illegals” because they think daddy capitalist is watching them lick boots.
I like to compare it to someone sitting in math class, the lesson is on square numbers and they go "a square is a shape though". Everyone who actually paid attention knows the relation between the concepts and doesn't need to compensate ignorance with smug pedantry.
Hey, are you saying we get free police
You get free police beatings. And if you're stopped they will empty the money out of your wallet as "civil asset forfeiture". So not exactly a cost but not exactly free.
Only in one place, don’t paint everyone like the USA.
