Well, that’s all for her then.
[[[Sanders’s plan to provide free college to all students from families that make $125,000 or less a year, with the money to come from a tax on speculative trading. ]]]
Until it isn’t enough.
She must not have seen the well planned and sophisticated plan that AOC discussed previously:
Just pay for it.
The democrat party is where you find all the people who expect the government to take money from the “rich” (hard working people with a brain) and give it to the “poor” (dumb lazy slobs who want free things).
Since Klobuchar doesn’t go along with that, she will not be the nominee.
An observation which I haven’t heard anyone mention:
When we speak of “free college” specifically at public or state colleges and universities, these institutions are run by state and local officials, not the federal government.
Since the federal government does not run these institutions, how can presidential candidates promise the federal.government will provide “free” state college tuition???
Traction for Amy in the general election. For the primaries, not so much.
They won’t want this Negative Nelly raining on their debates.
I don’t believe that she’s a “moderate,” I venture to guess that she’s perfectly happy with infanticide. She’s also a wide open borders Rat. She is far left on important issues.
What (I believe) will ultimately be her downfall is her notorious BAD TEMPER. She does not have the temperament to be POTUS, and it will be easy to make that case.
Former staff members have gone on record about her regular verbal and physical abuse, how they were clearly working in a “hostile environment” (which means she’s breaking federal law, “hostile environment” is a legal term). Last year she also had the highest rate of staff turnover compared to anyone else in the Senate.
She is an overly-emotional nasty b*tch, and she is COMPLETED UNSUITED to be Commander in Chief. “I have high expectations” is a total BS excuse for abusing her staff.
Yaeah, she’s your standard don’t rock the boat Dem. She will just stand aside and watch while AOC and other radicals commies enact their agendas.
Funny thing. When the execrable Jennifer Granholm became Dem. governor of Michigan (terrible day) she immediately announced her much repeated campaign promise of free college tuition to all academically qualified students in Michigan would not be submitted by her as governor.
One of my student assistants in the university library read the front page story, looked up at me and said: “Well right there she lied. She broke her campaign promise. How could she do that?”
I kept my face from showing the suppressed laughter welling up inside and replaced it with sympathy that the young people are so naïve and politically ignorant.
“That’s too bad. I think she saw the state didn’t have that much money.” The girl was on the verge of tears.
“Well, that’s all for her then.”
Good for her. I don’t want her to pander. I want to hear her actual positions so I can ascertain whether she is worthy of being beating badly by Trump in 2020.
An honest Democrat? Who knew...?
A small hint of sanity, but to get the nomination she will have to pander to the leftist loons.
Actually we can, but it would require a different delivery method. It could be done by creating an AA in general studies that is delivered via the Internet. To be successful, it would require:
1) acceptance by all colleges and is credited for the full 60 hrs for transfer
2) acceptance by the US Government
3) is test based - like CLEP testing
4) material is delivered via Internet
Take 20 general classes in a narrow range of topics, pass the associated 20 tests and receive your AA. You could expand this to include other “non-perform” type degrees as well. 20 tests at $90 per test = $1,800 per Associates PLUS the cost of generating and updating the tests.
Cost could be recovered via taxes for all who apply to the program, get taxed at $100 per year until the degree is achieved, and then $400 per year for four years after the degree is achieved. I know that is not “free” and more like a loan, but the program would be paid and would be a net zero impact to the overall budget. Way cheaper for the first two years than traditional college.
Nor we can afford Medicare for all, free daycare for all and a government job for everyone. Will she admit that, too?
More B.S. in 2020!
McCain had a notorious bad temper and it didn’t stop him. And of course there was Hillary...
Even if we could afford it, it would be a bad idea.
What we do need is some competency teaching basic math, language and science in high school (most junior colleges and too many traditional colleges waste enormous amounts of resources on remediation in those areas), and then we need kids who have no interest in college to get a chance to learn a viable trade.
Mike Rowe has made that point for years - and he’s right on the money. There’s nothing wrong with going to college for many people, but for lots of kids it’s just a waste of time and money.
But the colleges will be happy to absorb all the tuitions the feds are willing to subsidize.
