What about the demographics of "will be ditch-diggers all their lives," or "repeatedly failed 9th grade and couldn't pass college in a Greyhound bus?" Will we have to send them off to college for free too?

Do I get a refund for footing my entire college tuition and our kids’? Fair is fair. Equal is equal.

The caveat is that everyone has to pretend to be Native American.

The correct way to give College to all is to allow placement out of all college course material via tests. State schools must provide state college credit to classes taken by anybody based upon placement tests period that is how you get college for all

It would be better if they instead saw to it that kids graduated high school able to read, do basic math, and have a rudimentary understanding of civics and economics.

I want to introduce the "Weekend at Bernie's House Act"
Since Bernie Sanders has multiple houses and He can only be in one house at any point in time.
I think it only FAIR that these excesses of wealth be shared with the less fortunate.
And so I declare that any vacant house owned by the compassionate Senator from Vermont, be available for boarding for the oppressed Homeless.

Fifty percent of those in college today shouldn’t be there - college for all is just one more pie in the sky ‘rat election scheme, and that doesn’t even touch the fact that there’ll never be enough taxpayer money to pay for it.....
