## Caption

It’s no secret that student loan debt and the cost of attending college are national problems. In the last 30 years, the average price of four-year public and private college tuition has nearly doubled. Along with it, federal student loan debt has skyrocketed to $1.8 trillion. You’ve probably heard a buzzworthy solution: make college tuition free.

While voices pitching “free college” programs tend to be the loudest on the progressive left, it’s actually a red state that was the first to enact a statewide Promise Program.

Watch the full first episode of What’s Working, a video series that uncovers creative policy solutions at the state and local level that are improving the lives of Americans, exclusively on Vox’s Patreon. #freetuition #studentloans #collegetuition
