If the Greatest Country on Earth can afford to bail-out all of those Wall Street banks, it can afford to pay my tuition.
Their thinking goes something like that.
Free college for everyone is a much bigger than the bank bail out.
My university raked in $220 million in one semester. Multiply that by 2.5 and x the number of higher learning centers in the US (4,726) x 10 years = in the trillions.
Or...
If the greatest country on earth can afford to subsidize tens of millions of illegal aliens at tax payers expense, it can afford to pay my way.
You are correct.
Which begs the question. Why did the bail happen in with an administration and Congress that was supposed to be opposed to socialism?
We have socialism here. What many Mills are asking for is to be paid. Not good, but you have to step back and see the point.
