Extending an olive branch to Bernie Sanders and his supporters, Hillary Clinton on Wednesday will announce a plan to make in-state public colleges and universities free for students from families who make less than $125,000 a year.

Sanders made free in-state tuition a core plank of his campaign for the Democratic nomination, and Clinton and Sanders discussed the issue in their meeting last month, according to a Clinton aide.

Clinton often mocked that plan from Sanders during the primary, saying she didn't want taxpayers to pay for Donald Trump's kids' education. Her plan includes an income cap Sanders' did not.

The announcement comes exactly a month after Clinton clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, and amid an ongoing struggle between supporters of both candidates over what should be included in the Democratic platform....

How obvious! She picking up the spoils from the Bernie “snoflakes” by buying their votes with the promise of free tuition.

If you think college is expensive now, just wait until it’s free.

And what about the rest of us? In fact, those who graduated or never went to college will be footing the bill for these brats.

“And she’ll give you free room and board when she puts you in prison for thought crimes.”......

It was made quite clear “Crooked Hitlary” won’t be needing those prison suits and cells.

What this will do is ensure that any family making $125,001 and up, can't afford college.

Heck, we're almost there now, just a little nudge......

Yeah, make $125,001 and you’re screwed.

Well, if she gets in the Taxpayers are screwed and the Snowflakes are paid off for their Votes.

I love how Politicians pick numbers out of thin air.

Can I ask a stupid question?

How can the federal government or a president, somehow decree free college at state colleges and universities? The states run their colleges and universities. The states decide on levels of tuition for in state residents vs. Out of state.

So is the federal govenrment going to take over state colleges? How the heck will the somehow give free college unless they take over all these state cilleges?

Well of course. Requiring any of the younger generation to take a bus - or (shudder) walk to school - that's actually a form of microaggression.

How damn stupid can you get? Since only 12% of the population makes over $125K per year (http://theglitteringeye.com/u-s-income-distributiona-chart-to-contemplate/), it essentially means that almost 90% of the US population qualifies for free" college. What "free" means is that 12% of the population is going to foot 88% of the costs of everyone who goes to college. The "free-lunchers" are going to kill this Republic.
