Predictably Hillary! trying to excite and garner the youth vote.

Don't think an old grandmother hag will excite the yutes.

She has a flat-out student loan forgiveness proposal in her back pocket.

If behind next September she will roll it out.
It will make her unbeatable.

Hold on to your wallets!!! This marxist, obese hag is after them. Why doesn’t this smelly degenerate take some of the $2,000,000,000 plus in her criminal foundation and give it to the students? Oh, by the way...why doesn’t this leftist freak pay her campaign “workers”?

Rand Paul proposed affordability for collage students, but instead ? His plan would foot the bill to older Americans and burden them as tax right offs.

Hillary Clinton / Rand Paul 2016

Rand Paul as her VP running mate.

Let’s make food more affordable also, and how about a car —that’s it, free cars for everyone also. A chicken in every pot.

How do we pay for this - obviously through higher taxes. Those rich people and corporations have too much money anyway /sarc.

And if she offered free lifetime swisher sweets to the urban yutes, she could garner a lot of their votes.

As if the colleges and universities aren’t already federally controlled enough, she’s going to make it impossible for any one of them to survive financially without agreeing to dumb-down and indoctrinate every single student into unthinking atheistic Marxist lemmings.

...Clinton will propose steps to reduce the cost of four-year public schools, make two-year community colleges tuition-free and cut student loan interest rates, according to campaign aides.

No matter how you slice it, this is another tax-and-spend program. Hey, Hillary! If you're going to spend $350 billion more, then you need to offer a new tax that's going to raise that much revenue. Stop and think: That's over $1000 for every man, woman, and child in the US to fund a one-semester drinking binge for tens of thousands of non-serious students. Perhaps then people will sorta understand that there is no free lunch...anywhere. Serious students are willing to invest in themselves. Free tuition brings out everyone else.

To make something more affordable, you stop throwing money at it. You remove money from it and let competition and quality bring market prices in line. No student government backed loans. No grants. No anything.

Stop filling the trough academia gorges on.

Clinton will have to promise all kinds of ‘free stuff’.

She saw that was how Santa Obama managed to win in 2008.

IIRC, Obama planned on ‘forgiving’ student loans for those who went into Government work. Not Kidding. He must have overlooked that idea recently.....or will bring it up before he is booted out. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL THE MASSES FROM WHERE THE MONEY WILL COME..........IT WILL COME FROM THOSE WHO ARE WORKING HARD JUST TO MAKE ENDS MEET! These ideas need to see the complete light of day.....and these ideas are one reason those students cannot find jobs to pay back those student loans.
