What do you mean by free, Bernie? Do you mean that nobody pays? Do you mean that you as president will abolish college tuition and that everybody will attend at no cost? That is what you have been saying, so I guess you mean it.

But if everything is free where will the money come from to pay the professors, or the college presidents or the janitors? Or will they all be volunteers and work for nothing?

"We tax the wealthy!"

[Mr Ramsbotham]

His program offers to impoverish the very people who are supposed to be financing it.

[onona]

And guess what, you’re ALL wealthy

Taxing the top 2 percent at 90 percent wouldn’t make a dent in our debt.

Sounds good to me - except for the STEM (not including the climate alarmist agendanista) and Business/career related professors/instructors.

"No! No! You're lying! That's not what we learned!"

[onona]

Go post your commie crap somewhere else.

[OKSooner]

One of the best “quotes” credited to her, whether she really said it or not was, “Sure the cost of the Green New Deal is $32 Trillion, but most of that is ZEROs.” (!!!)

[Robert A Cook PE]

We should pay the university presidents, deans, and professors, and staff, and assistants what their contributions are really worth - and, yes, in many cases that value (their salaries and grants and research) is nothing.

But that would resemble a “free market for education” not a “free education for all” wouldn’t it?

[Robert A Cook PE]

No, no we do need to know what the communist-national-socialist party is actually thinking.

“Taxing the top 2 percent at 90 percent wouldn’t make a dent in our debt”.

BINGO!

[3boysdad]

The reality is when the country is 21 trillion dollars in debt, what difference does anyone’s taxes make anymore!!! We’ve been robbed!!!

“If everything is free”, they won’t have to be paid because they want need any money since “everything is free”.

[oldasrocks]

You mean they are going to tax the income I receive for being unwilling to work and want free income?

I want free massage therapy for my bad back.

[John Milner]

Just tax all the professors and college/university employees at 100%. The colleges will have more students since it’s free, so there should be more tuition money to pay everyone more. So it all works out, duh!

It’s, um, like, the circle of life. Or something?

[SubMareener]

The typo is in the original article!! Or should I say “The typo our in the original article?”

[stylin19a]

...where will the money come from...

or, as my son said when he was asked that question when he was 4 years old - "From on top of the dresser".
