WASHINGTON — As Democrats push ahead with President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion rebuilding plan, they’re promising historic investments across the arc of an education — from early childhood to college and beyond — in what advocates describe as the most comprehensive package of its kind in decades.
The education provisions in Biden’s “Build Back Better” proposal would serve as a bedrock for schooling opportunities for countless Americans and test the nation’s willingness to expand federal programs in far-reaching ways.
Equity is a focus, as it seeks to remove barriers to education that for decades have resulted in wage and learning disparities based on race and income.
All told, Americans would be entitled to two years of free preschool plus two years of free community college. Millions of families would be eligible for expanded child care subsidies. And there would be more federal financial aid for low-income college students.
“We haven’t done anything like that in my memory,” said Jessica Thompson, associate vice president of the Institute for College Access and Success, an education nonprofit. “It’s the dream.”
Democrats are pushing ahead on their own because Republicans decry the proposal as a step toward socialism that will worsen inflation and strain the economy.
Tensions have mounted over the issue in recent weeks, with some Democrats in the Congressional Black Caucus threatening to withhold support from the bill unless more funding is added.

Unless more and more community colleges offer more applied science degrees - degrees that can lead to employment right out of school - going to community college will be a poor fit for many students.
Perhaps he and his wife, the “doctor”, can start the spending by paying the $ 600,000 in back taxes they owe plus taxes on the 10 percent kickback to “the Big Guy” by his corrupt son.
The ungodly socialist brainwashing is worse than the wasted money.
Every DAY this fraudulent POS and his handlers find a way to further bankrupt America.
This is gonna end well for us and the rest of the world!

As long as schools are ‘free’, why should I care if my kids get indoctrinated in them?
There will be a plethora of ‘Social Engineering’ Degrees, Women’s Studies, LGBTQWERTY Studies, Climate Change Studies and all kinds of other worthless degrees.
They will ALL learn a certain phrase:
Would you like fries with that?.....................
When schools are ‘free’, you get what you pay for......................
Socialism in another word. Quite simply this is forced confiscation of your earnings to be wasted on the indoctrination of lazy asses.
28th Amendment, 35 States and Counting.
It will take you less than a minute to read this. If you agree, please pass it on. It’s an idea whose time has come to deal with this self-serving situation:
Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans.
Staffers of Congress family members are also exempt from having to payback student loans.
Members of Congress can retire at full pay after only one term.
Members of Congress have exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, under which ordinary citizens must live.
For example, they are exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment.
And as the latest example, they have exempted themselves from Healthcare Reform, in all of its aspects.
We must not tolerate an elite class of such people, elected as public servants and putting themselves above the law.
I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon their states. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
IF Each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days most people in The United States of America will have the message.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:
“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the Citizens of the United States ...”
Are some kids still learning too much in college?
When they had preschool years ago...it was for a couple hours and a parent attended also. The children were 4. It was socializing for the children not aimed at learning book.
Or as the distinguished scholar George W. Bush would say, “Is our children learning?”
The majority of 17 & 18 year old youths still don't know what they want to be and college can be a sheer waste and many don't want to work too hard after the vigorous years of education in high school. cough cough
Fixed it...
“expand education”. LOL
Require the parents to be financially responsible for the kids, and to take care of them while they are in diapers. But then immediately throw them into an education camp to wash their brains of any little bit of Christianity that might have crept into their little heads, and to teach the kids that they can choose their sex, that White is evil, and that 2 + 2 = 5.
Soon college will be mandatory.everyone will be locked up in Democrat h*ll of one type of another. Freedom of anything will be a memory.
