A college education was once free for California residents. That’s right, during the post-WWII era, the greatest public university system in the history of the world cost nothing to attend. Californian prosperity skyrocketed during that era.
What was great for California then will be great for California (and other states) now. Come learn how tuition-free college and university is affordable, costing the median household only $66 annually—and why it will be great for California—and great for the entire United States.
