Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., were set to introduce the College for All Act on Capitol Hill Monday afternoon, in an effort to make higher education a realistic and affordable opportunity for the entirety of U.S. citizens, regardless of income or demographic. The legislation includes a joint-bill in the House which would be introduced Wednesday by Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., according to a statement provided to International Business Times.

What about the demographics of "will be ditch-diggers all their lives," or "repeatedly failed 9th grade and couldn't pass college in a Greyhound bus?" Will we have to send them off to college for free too?

....by whatever means necessary.....

As long as that involves using OUR money to expand their liberal influence.

Do I get a refund for footing my entire college tuition and our kids’? Fair is fair. Equal is equal.

Also known as the ‘Gimme dat’ act.

[I want the USA back]

Yeah. Where does the money come from?

[Crucial]

The caveat is that everyone has to pretend to be Native American.

The correct way to give College to all is to allow placement out of all college course material via tests. State schools must provide state college credit to classes taken by anybody based upon placement tests period that is how you get college for all

It would be better if they instead saw to it that kids graduated high school able to read, do basic math, and have a rudimentary understanding of civics and economics.

A small university in Huntsville, Texas turned my conservative viola player into a liberal. Grrrrr.

I want to introduce the "Weekend at Bernie's House Act"
Since Bernie Sanders has multiple houses and He can only be in one house at any point in time.
I think it only FAIR that these excesses of wealth be shared with the less fortunate.
And so I declare that any vacant house owned by the compassionate Senator from Vermont, be available for boarding for the oppressed Homeless.

What a crock.

“Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren Introduce College For All Act”

Let me guess, they want to raise my (Already high) taxes to pay for it.

[Garvin]

Got my vote!

Fifty percent of those in college today shouldn’t be there - college for all is just one more pie in the sky ‘rat election scheme, and that doesn’t even touch the fact that there’ll never be enough taxpayer money to pay for it.....
