Maybe I'm giving you too much credit. You've told us in several past posts that we need to look at the big picture. You didn't say that your statement "Free Tuition sounds great until you understand its the cheapest part of going to school.." was merely your personal experience with one school. So, without that significant qualification, it came across as a comment on the "big picture." Since the big picture, which your past posts indicate you adhere to, differs from your personal experience, it would seem that you were being disingenuous.
But, maybe, rather than really caring about the big picture to which you want others to pay attention, you see things through a more narrow lens.
for my experience tuition is one piece with a a price Tag
and living and books and food and credit hours are another ...

Living expenses exist whether you go to school or not. They could be higher or lower for non-students. They are not, essentially, a cost of going to school. And most students who go to schools in their driving distance locality incur few, if any, any "living costs" because of school attendance. Those out-of-staters or out of locality would have living costs if they didn't go to school.
I don't know how those who campaign on free college figure in such things as living expenses or the different prices for different schools, and who gets to go to which schools. If our tax money pays, then many might be upset that others get to go to a better school on their dime than their children can. I suppose the federal government could just take over the whole education system and make all schools equal in quality and price.
