Not if you don't implement the rest of the Nordic model.

Denmark used 13% of its combined government budget on education in 2017. 44% was used on welfare.

From what I understand the US tuition fees are significantly higher than what the Nordic countries spend per student at colleges. Making all US schools free would likely incur much larger costs than they do in the Nordic nations. Welfare is also a part of the free education promise in the Nordic countries as students are paid a monthly student allowance for studying.

Imagine asking the tax payers to pay students' Ivy League education tuition fees. Tax raises would be unavoidable.

You don't need to make all schools free. Just public schools.

If any school wants to be free, they need to implement the federal pay bands.

Get rid of subsidized student loans as well. There's no reason we should be subsidizing predatory tuitions.
