[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Actually, this is encouraging. I've been concerned that she's going to drive the US into bankruotcy - ala Greece - with her talk of all the free stuff she's going to hand out, like college educations. Shows she's just making empty promises to entice the Bernie supporters to the polls. (She's good with the lies.)[/quote]

Clinton never promised free college. That was one of the differences between her and Sanders.

Originally. But now that Sanders is out, she upped the ante in order to get the Bernie supporters to come out for her. She is promising no tuition at public universities for families making under $125k, which is the vast majority. And you notice how she never says the details? Like how she is going to pay for it? (And no, making the rich pay "their fair share" won't begin to cover it.) Plus, if you make tuition free - meaning taxpayers have to pay for it - the tuition will go up even faster. I'm sure you're aware that subsidized goods and services rise in price.

I would support some minor approach to this, though. Students from modest incomes who score in the top 5% in their HS get taxpayer-funded tuition, provided them maintsin a B average in college. I also would be in favor of raising the Pell grant income ceiling somewhat. But other than that, sorry....money doesn't grow on trees, and we are already $20 trillion in debt.[/quote]
