I believe that tuition should be free, because that is the only way that a hard working individual, regardless of background, can break out of his situation. I agree with you that handouts, just for the sake of handouts, need to be curtailed. But something like health insurance (Not someone's fault they got sick) and tuition should be taken care of. Only then can we truly say: We gave you all the tools, and you did nothing with them, that's on you.
