Mayor and presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said during the second Democratic debate, “I just don’t believe it makes sense to ask working-class families to subsidize even the children of billionaires.

    5. Many are making the argument that extending access to public colleges is analogous to when the US created universal high schools.

      This is an Unsubstantiated claim, he has no proof that many are making this argument and doesnt add on to it at all.
