I heard this on local (NYC) radio a little while ago and halted in my tracks. I simply could not believe my ears. FREE COLLEGE? Number 1, how are NY taxpayers going to afford this? Number 2, this will absolutely encourage deadbeat morons who have no business in college to waste valuable resources and cost taxpayers big bucks for absolutely NO return on the investment. Number 3, knowing Cuomo Libtard's proclivities, he will encourage ILLEGAL ALIENS to be among these free college attendees. Isn't that the last straw?
Parents all over scrimp and save to send their kids to college, and these scum stand to just walk in and get a free college education, leaving the already overtaxed NY taxpayers to pay for their escapades. If Cuomo thinks this will make him a more attractive candidate for 2020, I think he is dead wrong. I remember his "give away the store" stint at HUD and it's obvious he has not changed. He's for EVERYTHING for EVERYONE so long as it's not out of his own pocket. Libtard TURD!
I just got off the phone from my libtard state senator's office and gave them an infuriated but reasoned discourse on why this is a financially and socially irresponsible thing to do. BTW, a news article in the NYT states that BERNIE SANDERS, one of the 10 Morons of the Western World, is shoulder to shoulder in support of Cuomo's announcement.
Oddly enough, you may find the exact opposite trend in a case like this. City College of New York was founded in the 1840s by a wealthy business leader who also served as the president of the city's Board of Education. It remained a "free" college until it began charging tuition in the 1970s, and as a result of this it was extremely difficult to get into the school. It was head and shoulders above other public colleges in the U.S. over that period, and I believe it still holds a distinction with more Nobel laureates among its graduates than any other public college in the U.S.
Personally, I think any "free" New York colleges are going to get filled with Asian students who are the children of recent immigrants.
