If you think college tuition is expensive now, wait until it is free
If you think college tuition is expensive now, wait until it is free. Two years of “free” community college sounds wonderful, even though some students who just graduated felt cheated that they did not get it “free” and, in the name of fairness and justice, retroactive reimbursement was immediately demanded.
The President announced that two years of junior college will be free if “you are willing to work hard.” Was he referring to working hard to keep up stellar grades or doing community service in exchange for “free” or subsidized tuition? Surely even liberals must understand that nothing is free, somebody must pay for it, it is basic economics. There is an opportunity cost attached to any choice made. Not to mention that the government is going to dictate the curriculum taught in these junior colleges and there will be subliminal deliberate indoctrination.

One of the first lessons these youngsters will learn after their government education is complete is there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Obama is a kook, who is going to pay for this??
Many of them will—eventually. The rest will remain democrats.
It should be noted that thanks to CLEP, AP, and DSST testing, the first two years of college already are available for between $50 - $100 per course if you buy last year’s textbooks from Amazon and are willing to put in the work.
“doing community service”
Is that exclusive to Planned Parenthood, democrap phone banks, and voting intimidation squads?
Free often = of no value.

I would call it required service to the Party.
And there is not even to be even perceived disloyalty to Party Secretary Obama, comrade.
