[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Bernie or Elizabeth are in office, the price of college will drop significantly.  College will be FREE!!

Vote socialist in 2020!![/quote]

I'm pretty sure it will be free for the people who the colleges already subsidize and not for the donut hole families.  [/quote]

I'm pretty sure there would be free options for everyone, but the donut hole families will want to go to the "better" schools that aren't free and feel pissed because they are financially out of reach except to talented poor kids and less talented rich kids.  (And I say this as a donut hole parent who came from working class roots--we get a lot of advantages that middle class and working class families don't--we overwhelmingly get all the tax benefits of 401ks, back-door IRAs, 529 plans, HSAs etc.)[/quote]

In many cases it will be both less talented poor kids and less talented rich kids.  I can afford to send my kid to an Ivy, but I understand why donut hole families feel left in the cold.  There should not be federal loans available to attend schools that over inflate tuition costs and maintain huge endowments.  The a[b]vailability of federal loans/grants at these institutions[/b] is what allows them to keep increasing the prices.  [/quote]

Most analysis don't see this as primarily the case, especially at private elite institutions.[/quote]
what do "most analysis" see as primarily the case?[/quote]
