Great. This is what happens when people that vote for a living begin to outnumber people that work for a living. Our nation was built on self reliance. It has now become a nation built on government dependency.

I have 4 boys. My wife and I work hard and will not be able to help them all through college the way we may want to. I'll be damned if I'm going to be taxed to pay for someone else's kid to go to college.

I would like to make a suggestion:

Since Sanders from Vermont and Warren from Mass. open your own schools and let them be free...you don’t tell the rest of us what to do!!!

All to be paid for by massive government (and private) debt, created by the Federal Reserve, in our unbacked, fiat currency.

No you know what makes socialism possible.

How about being taxed to pay for someone else’s kid to be indoctrinated with liberalism?

The primary goal of liberals at this time seems to be how to expand their voting base by whatever means necessary.

Of course they’ll need a room and board so they can live

Great. Another big waste of taxpayer dollars. “All” have no business being anywhere near a college. You couldn’t keep most of “ALL” in High School or Junior High. Just another ‘RAT scam ripe for massive fraud.

You know the main reason college is not affordable? Because talentless professors like Liz Warren make well into the six figures to do nothing that is useful or productive.

so the commies are running out of “free” goodies to “give” the hoipolloi (us)?

not everyone wants to go to university
not everyone needs to go to university
certainly
not everyone benefits from going to university
and so
not everyone should go to university
and
not everyone wants to pay for all that waste

I was a part-time professor for a while, teaching a series of 3 beginning programming courses.
Fully 1/4 of all students simply would not do the work.

DON'T just give "free college" to people who feel, and have, no obligation to perform.

They’re just trying to step up the indoctrination process for the next election.

Do these two morons not realize that they have no power and do not have any chance in hell of this ever becoming law?

Do they not know who won the elections last November?

Are they in such denial that they think Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Obozo are still in command?............

Well, given that these two morons got through college, we’ve already established that college is for “all”.

However, you two liberal buttwipes, we’re not paying for the indoctrination of folks who’d have trouble filling out a ditch digger’s job application. It’s obvious you two couldn’t, so you had to take the only job with lower standards...that of congresscritter.

I bet the wall is wayyy cheaper than this socialist stuff. If big ag n rich suburbanites would just pay decent wages to the berry pickers n housekeepers, this education industrial complex wouldnt exist.

Just another bailout for America's obsolete and failing system of universities.

Some of them simply need to disappear.

The election of Donald Trump has caused great concern in the BigGov/Socialist/Globalist community.

Somehow far too many people have escaped liberal brainwashing and are bitterly clinnging to old notions of limited government intrusion into our lives,
freedom of choice, religion, heterosexual mating and wedlock, independance, constitutional government, etc.

The liberals need to get more of the upcoming generations into college where they can be immersed in advanced leftist ideology and properly re-deducated.

an effort to make higher education a realistic and affordable opportunity for the entirety of U.S. citizens, regardless of income or demographic.

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.
