ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Hillary Clinton says she hopes the free college tuition plan approved by New York state lawmakers last week will lead other states to follow suit.

The former Democratic presidential nominee rallied with Gov. Andrew Cuomo Wednesday at LaGuardia Community College in Long Island City for a ceremonial bill signing of the scholarship for poor and middle class students....

Did I miss something? Is she still a public official of some kind or is she running for office?

[realcleanguy]

Nothing is free

[Ouchthatonehurt]

I’m pretty sure she’s the wife of that perv President who got impeached.

[dsrtsage]

Wasn’t the Cal State system free like 40 or 50 years ago until they figured out they couldn’t make money without charging eleventy billion dollars?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yes, my late father attended Chafee College for free.

since cankles is goin’ nowhere, this is payoff to clean up debt.

[MtnClimber]

That swirling sensation in NY is getting tighter and the bottom of the toilet is near.

[PLMerite]

I bet she’s got her money well-sheltered and won’t contribute a dime to anyone’s education.

If it's free, It probably isn't worth very much.

It's an employment program teachers.

Why don't these socialists just admit that everyone should have all things free? Hell, the government has the money. Oh wait, the government doesn't produce anything. All free stuff is on the tax-payers' dime:
Free access to our country for those who cross our borders illegally or over-stay visas;
Free access as long if called refugees;
Free legal for the above;
Free healthcare;
Free welfare, food stamps, housing;
Free stipends;
Free of fed and state income taxes;
Free phones;
Free Internet;
And on it goes...

Socialists are insane. I'm amazed every day how the socialist nations of Scandinavia don't see why they are failing. Then there is Germany, France, and the UK. It's become increasingly apparent that western Europe has some kinda death wish for reasons unknown.

It isn’t free - they’re just shifting how it’s paid for.

And we already know that more money doesn’t necessarily mean a better education.

[TigersEye]

So that means that all New Yorkers can go to college for free? No?

Who gets to go and who gets rejected?

[mowowie]

If only the common liberal would realize how naive he/she is...

[onedoug]

I’d bet it’s age discriminant.

[PGR88]

Like most government freebies, it will distort the market, bring under government control yet another key component of a free, civil-society, and of course, highly politicize and corrupt yet another sector of society

It will simply destroy most private colleges, particularly the smaller ones, except for the most wealthy schools, like they Ivy Leagues

[chris37]

Who the f*** is Hillary Clinton?

[Dogbert41]

The plan has a hundred thousand dollar cap eligibility. If your family makes more than that, you get NOTHING. NO SOUP FOR YOU!

In NY, that means the middle class is F’cked.

[dasboot]

Read the fine print, boys and girls and others.

Nothing of value to YOU is ‘free’.

..... The political struggle will always be defined against those that want .... Free Stuff ..... Versus ...... Those that want to ... Earn Stuff.

.... The future will depend upon those that articulate their cause the best.

.... In short .... In the final days ..... He who posseses the gift of the Silver Toungue .... shall win.

Pure stupidity..
