The two year free tuition in CC for students who can keep up good grades will help thousands get an education.     $6 billion a year over 10 years is a drop in the bucket for FED.

60 billion over 10 years? And you believe that? Ha! Whenever the govt gives an estimated cost double it  and you get the true cost.  
How much do the states pay? This is about federalizing the CC system  with more red tape, paperwork, and regulat
ons.
  And the cost will passed on to the students. The Dem playbook for 50 years: we will give  you free stuff. Don't  worry about  the cost. Just vote for us.

All schools up to end of HS is free!   LOL.   Who is paying for it?

Better than blowing up $24 billion in a shutdown!   Get it or not?

I wonder why the GOP hates American citizens so much?

Millions upon millions  of Americans don't have the money, will power,dedication, or enough common sense to learn on their own.  
  I believe helping those who desire to continue their education, with free College, gives those students a better chance at success. Those educated students  would quickly pay back tax payer dollars, with less  taxes in the future required  from the rich and upper middle class.  
   
  The Government will never  fix a problem that can't  be fixed, by  doling out free money for a  lifetime of poor ignorant  complacency.

It would result in increased investments, output and wages. I don't blame them for dodging  taxes.
Tell me, why do so many liberals  move to states with no income tax????  

islamic state u

Where it comes to getting people higher paying jobs. The simplest formula to prove this theory wrong is... More talent in the pool + more qualified applicants = less pay.  

Tax payers.

If someone does not have the will or common sense to get  an education  what good  is  spending money on them? I hatve no problem with helping people who want to help themselves. If they don't  that's on them.
They are the ones the Democrats pander to.

   No doubt some will be thinking, everywhere they go they see  ignorant fools with higher education degrees, education doesn't guarantee monetary success or a logical  mind .  
    I believe educated fools are an exception rather than the rule.  
   Why many of them  flock to TER , I have no clue.      
     
    I can't blame Democrats attempting to find another way to get more  votes, the racism card is soon to  play out for the final count, among our young.

Thanks for proving my points about the GOP mind set.

So another dumb ass comment by you cop!

Serve in the military and then go to school.  

Tempt the unteachable to want an education they can't commit to, nor one that they really want with free money. Convince them to stay in school, loan them money so they can the rest of their way. Then way they can't afford to pay their school loan debt, because they pursued a career no amount of education could prepare them for. Offer amnesty or the minimum a lower debt payment deal, if you vote Democrat.

The GOP always complains about the little guy.

I'm addressing unnecessary regulation on industries such as construction and trucking to name a few. Sue happy liberals have raised the cost of business, to where the little guy can't afford to do so.

Educated folks don't vote for certified MORONS

I bet, you would not fly on airplane you built yourself.  

We obviously need to take drastic measures to save/restore our educational system.

24B would have only been enough for one, or a percentage of an existing infrastructure project, however the money would have go a lot farther, a portion would have gone back into the economy, and there would be something to show for it. While education it self can be valuable to the individual, education isn't a measurable asset of GDP.

The economy lost $24 billion because of Government shutdown.    $6 billion a year to educate kids who can get jobs and generate income tax revenue.

Some of it may not have been borrowed in the first place. Most of it, unfortunately, still got spent, just not on the normal schedule.

The fastest economies in the world are not focusing on education. Granted these economies/nations are not parallel to the US as far as the amount of growth they have seen. America has an educational deficit, much like the American financial deficit. These deficits have accumulated over a period of decades. There are no retroactive fixes that can turn either of the deficits around.  

One of the major faults of PS K-12 are the liberal programs art, music, cultural studies, and who knows what else that have going on today. All this BS needs to be replaced with substance based programs advanced math and science, advanced English reading writing, spelling, language arts, from there students can move into technical studies carpentry, automotive, agricultural these are just off of the top of my head. Students should graduate HS with ability to work in at least five different real world industries. America has more than enough film makers.

47 percent of the population pays no taxes.  If US companies to out of biz or go overseas where they are treated better, they pay no tax anyway even though it makes liberals feel better.  Have a flat tax so we all pay the same

Not art, and music students can get these elements of culture outside of the classroom. Children need to learn real work experience. Students can not obtain these things outside of the classroom. Students are in class in excess of eight hours a day. Students need to learn real skills, which they can apply to real world issues, in the form of employment so they can support themselves when they graduate high school. Like I said people can pursue artistic outlets on their own time, because the majority of time their artistic outlet is not going to provide financial independence.

So first you say prison is better than public schools.

What I'm saying is the high school diploma would be the evidence to show that graduates have real world industrial experience. The associate degree isn't much good with out the bachelors degree, and the bachelors degree isn't much good with out the masters degree. These so called degrees do one of two things. A. create a culture of institutional dependency B. Limit the graduates potential, because life gets in the way of earning their next mandated degree. Both of which come with a nice serving financial debt.  

We have the highest corporate tax rates in the world.  Get us a flat tax.  Everyone will pay their fair share.  Right now, it is only the upper middle class and rich that pay.
