We already do. Do you think public colleges don’t receive tax money?
The barrier is simply cost. It would cost too much to do. We already run at a deficit, which is driving inflation. Taking on a wasteful cost, such as paying for idiots to get college degrees, would add zero benefits and destroy poor people with inflation.
If we want to make it free, we need to ration it to only the best. I wouldn’t mind paying for it at that point.

Why do you keep trying to build a strawman? LIke any resource, we have limits.
We need to spend those resources on the people best capable of using them.
