    Actually, its a very smart proposal. She realizes the vast stupidity of voters these days and knows how to capitalize on it. Who cares about actually living up to her promises. None of the previous Presidents have lived up to theirs and people don't hold them accountable, so why not promise it to the mob if it gets you elected? Since when do proposals have to have any realism in their design?

    Yes that's true. Seems like we are headed to mob rule so plan accordingly.

    Oh and the flip side of her stupid proposal isn't constitutional so she can just suck it anyway.

  3. The 2020 democratic platform in a nutshell. Free Health-Care, Reparations, Free college, Universal Basic Income. Who wouldn't want that? Answer, anyone with a job. Say hello to taxed into poverty.

    Hey, if we can have corporate welfare to the tune of 1.5 trillion, we can have actual welfare of the same figure

    Do I need to list the infinite number of studies that show the impact on someone's earning potential with a higher education vs without?

    Those that are getting their loans waived already have the degree and can't pay it back. Why is that? A lot of degrees have little value relative to their cost. This will not make that better.

    Making college more accessible to people who really have no business going to college will cheapen those degrees even further.
