Sanders to join Clinton in N.H. for joint pitch of a college plan aimed at millennials
The Washington Post ^ | 9/25/2016 | John Wagner

Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to join Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton this week at an event in New Hampshire where they will pitch a joint plan to make college more affordable -- part of a continuing effort to sell the party’s ticket to wary millennials.

Sanders, the runner-up in the Democratic primaries, consistently outperformed Clinton among young voters. As he prepared to exit the race in July, he worked with Clinton to incorporate parts of his college plan into hers.

The result is a proposal to make public colleges and universities tuition-free for families with income up to $125,000 a year and to make the college years debt-free for everyone.

Burnknee did not Run against the Witch.

The Rat primary was a rigged game, he was picked because he is so ugly and decrepit, Witchy Poo did not look quite so old, ugly and enormousness.

Well, it really blew up in their stupid faces!

Imagine if Republicans got caught doing the same thing.

More freebies from the public treasury.





A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

Stunning that Sanders does this after his wife bankrupted Burlington College.

The millennials that I know would like free college, yes.

They just don’t believe that Hillary will actually do it.

>>>for families with income up to $125,000<<<

When you hit College Age you are 18 and considered an Adult.

What Families are they talking about, an 18 Year Old Married Person who makes over $125,000 a Year. Anybody know someone with that problem?

It’s difficult to fight Bribery to try and Win an Election, that’s for sure.

Make College cheaper by eliminating fake Indian Professors who Teach one College Class and get paid $300,000 a Year.

You touch on an important point, namely, why the heck has college gotten so expensive? College costs have risen far more than the rate of inflation in recent decades, which in turn has caused so many students to go deeper and deeper into debt.

Perhaps Sanders should have waited until after Monday night’s debate before he announced Illary’s plans for the rest of the week.


Ya, Hillary only does one big event a week anymore.

I had to laugh, some of the news people said Hillary was off the campaign trail the past few days, reviewing the briefing books, etc. getting ready for the debate. Or was she sleeping and recuperating from her last event, to be rested for Monday night????
