so this must be for the not really, really poor folks.

Expanding the entitlement army is a core principle of Democrat election success. The number of people on food stamps has expanded from 17m to 46m since 2000.

More of odumbo’s “Free Sh$t” getting handed out to get and keep the young and restless and the gimmedats voting for him.

Has anyone ever tried to calculate the approximate dollar value of all the Free Sh$t odumbo gives to a “taker”?
It has got to be a very high number.

bad the IRS doesn’t go after the recipients for “income”, the rest of us would have to declare it as such. Guess they know it will be impossible to collect anyway.

Another move by the Marxists to consolidate federal power over the education system.

That money will come with plenty of strings attached.

The kids can graduate and go straight to the unemployment line.

I love all this free stuff that comes out of the butts of unicorns, and you have to bring up it needs to be paid for.

The US taxpayers are just Obama’s EBT card. And true to form, our “Boner” Speaker has no bones and is usually flaccid.

Just as colleges raised the tuition and fees when the government got into student loans (like most other corporations) they will again for this. What they need to do is come up with a psych test to assess who will survive to graduate. How about college boot camp?

President Barack Obama promoted a proposal to offer two years of free community college tuition...

IMHO, the only reason Obama made this proposal was to make the Republicans say no, and then he'll have an issue to use to demonize the Republican Congress with his low information (sumfin fo nuffin) voters.

So Tennessee already pays...I will tell you if there is something that follows the old saw “where there’s a will, there’s a way” it’s a college education. I know people who did it six and nine hours at a time, they found ways to pay, they lived with a little less luxury. I met a recent graduate who negotiated a 68K annual salary for her first job. It took her 4 1/2 years, taking classes in Summer, using online classes, keeping in constant contact with college faculty and staff and cobbling together part time jobs that wouldn’t affect her attendance.

You can throw whatever money you want into the pool, however, if someone isn’t willing to put effort into the items in the previous sentence, all the money in the world isn’t going to help.

No word yet as to how this is to be paid for at a national level

That is the part they always leave out.

It always ends up by raising the taxes to be more "fair".

It is like charities where 100% of the revenues go into administering the program. In this case the feds will need additional employees to oversee the program, additional employees to oversee the politicization of propaganda they will call education, additional teachers to do the indoctrination of students, and of course new equipment and facilities for all.

“This is federalizing the State Community College system. “

It is pretty much federalized already. Given the amount of federal dollars that goes to these schools, the feds can force them to do what they want. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

When something is free its value drops accordingly.

To Liberals and Fascists, $60B = $60.

They have no clue that the B makes it $60,000,000,000.

“3. This is federalizing the State Community College system. Will students from one state be allowed to attend community college in another for free? If so, a student can move to another state, go to community college for free, establish residency, and then transfer to a state college of university and receive in-state tuition. “

isn’t this a variant of the current situation where illegal invaders get to pay instate tuition regardless of where they came from?
