President Biden has told House progressives that the final bill to expand the social safety net is expected to drop tuition-free community college, a major White House priority, sources say

Moreover, he indicated that the child tax credit -- a key Democratic priority -- would likely be extended for one additional year, much shorter than what many in their party wanted, one of the sources said. The child tax credit will also likely be means tested, keeping with what West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin had wanted.

The President has highlighted the free college proposal in speeches across the country for months, telling one audience in July he was"insisting that we have universal pre-kindergarten two years of free community college." Biden, however, indicated the provision could be cut from the final plan late last week.

Hell yeah hahaha

It’s absurd that was in the package anyway. That is a state issue, not a federal one.

i think everyone stopped commenting on CNN, there lies are catching up

HAHAHAHHAA

No surprised

.. and here is some TRUTH that the CORPORATE OWNED is UNABLE to report!

Bahahahahaha who keeps voting blue 😂

I can't say I was expecting anything different. Just more of the same, promises made on the campaign trail only to be tossed aside when no one's looking. I wish I didn't get Realpolitik.

😂 Bidensexuals

Lmao this whole admin is a joke

Lmao bro lied bout 10 times now

Big industry is more important than education. We have become one more 3rd world country! Traitors to America! China owns our politicians.

CNN در آخرین گزارش خود، مقاله‌ای در ارتباط با عملکرد دولت چین نسبت به بحران انرژی در زمستان منتشر کرده است. در این گزاش آمده است، دولت چین به معادن زغال سنگ این کشور دستور داده است 'تا آنجا که ممکن است زغال سنگ تولید کنند' CNN

What a great guy! Lol

Oh that's a real shocker POTUS but helped you get elected, right?

We're not cutting back on aircraft carriers, F-35s, and payouts to PMCS, and tax breaks for corporations though, right? Won't somebody think of the children?

Ask yourself what is tuition-free community college? It's the Libary

Haha 😂 bet all you snowflakes still don’t see how bad you were all duped! I am seriously laughing so hard right now at all of you that bought into his lies!

in Russia, all colleges are free, so if someone wants to get a secondary technical or secondary specialized education in Russia, you are welcome!

Damnit

Socialism does not work!

Universal healthcare should be first.

Big loss for future America.

Lol

Don't you have to run that by Joe manchin the real president? You could very easily call him out on the fact that his son owns the coal company which he makes half a million dollars a year in. But you're too scared Joe and you lost my vote. We're dying out of here

Why

Good

Campaign Lie, when are ppl going to wake up to the fact the President really doesn’t hv much power at all. 😂

If u believe any of this system they got you.. they been sold out THE People…

Shameful

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄… the red hats are gonna win in 24’ and the Democratic Party will be the only people to blame. Can’t even get your own team mates on your side, never mind the other side of the aisle. They have caved on so much, we’re doomed.

I am very upset with Mansion yet we must keep a Republican from getting his seat. We are just stuck.

This is a big mistake.

I prefer total and full refund after graduating. Prize for successfully finishing. I believe more grads will then have the opportunity to use their new-found skills / knowledge plus money to start a business.

everything in the link below

promise he can not keep

I would have liked to see this part go through, however, I would much prefer to see something passed over nothing. Dems need to stop all the infighting and childish bickering and get to work on compromise. Ya know? Do their jobs!!

Not surprised! Just another political promise to fool the common!🤥🤮

Biden what what's going on? Community colleges can be more affordable taking few courses per semester not full time and stay an extra year 3 years insted of 2 and by year 3 have 4 classes that year. And college online can save car costs, campus meal costs too

It’s gone from Build Back Better to Build Back a Bit

Ugh.

kaitlancollins It’s hard to get educated people to want to work the coal mines in West Virginia.

While I am in agreement that we need to assist lower income students with exorbitant tuition, paying your own way and earning that tuition creates so much more appreciation and gratitude for the value of both the education and the monetary value than free will ever do.

'C'mon, man!'

If Cubs can offer higher education, for FREE. Surely tge land of milk and honey and high IQ having 🤥, can afford to. But America would rather churn out drug affixes, than intellectuals.

God forbid we start thinking

KattyKay_ Too bad. That would be life changing for some people. I paid my college, all my kids college, but some people can’t. This country always can find money for people that already have it, can rarely find the money that actually helps people.

That’s good because at 60 old I wanna get a BS degree if it’s free tuition

That is a-shame as it has worked very well in Rhode Island and has helped with filling the positions available with the skill sets required. Cost effective way to help this country with a better work force.

Your to much Biden of course it was cut out of the 1.5 plus per page bill . To bad is was the one thing everyone could get behind LETS GO BRANDON

Smart choice

Here’s an idea. Get rid of pre-reqs. Initially, the first two years. Keep classes specialized to that degree/program. 2 years and done at half the cost.

POTUS what a surprise. Dems backing out of campaign promises. We need a fighter in the office and not someone who will back down to Repubs and moderate “dems”

Another promise broken. Is anyone keeping count ?

Yaaaaaayyyyyyy

😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤬

What a joke

Fine, it’s cheap anyway

As long as “students loans” are still available students can still reach their goals.👏

lol promises made promises not kept POTUS

🤦🏻

And yet come midterms and 2024 everyone will say “wHy DoNt YoUnG pEoPlE vOtE?!?”

Just cancel it all

Good. Community college is already cheap.

Surprise!

As long as you’re still our tax dollars to those entering here illegally that’s fine. I’d rather my tax dollars go to that instead of helping kids or veterans. All good

拜登总统好样的!!!伟大的美利坚加油!!!

JoeBiden and Democratic leadership SpeakerPelosi chuckschumer are pathetic political dinosaur.

Can we cap how much they charge?

Good. As a MBA student and a taxpayer, I am currently learning economic theories from YouTube that my professor assigned our class. No way in hell I'm paying for free college when this is the curriculum professors are assigning.

Yeah, let's cut everything decent from the bill because of Manchin and Sinema who sold themselves specifically to kill those parts.

Heaven forbid we educate people beyond high school. They may begin to realize the government is keeping them down. Embarassing

Tuition Free comm college isn't a handout. People with degrees earn more meaning more put into economy and taxes. It also helps catch us up with the rest of the world. We continue to fall behind on education.

Soooo. Like what’s left? Seems like nothing. Wow. Awesome. America is so advanced.

Lying POS….💩

What sources?

😂 I'm so happy to see all those brainwashed idiot college students that voted for Biden get let down thinking they were going to get free tuition😂 PRICELESS 🤣

POTUS announces package will be a lollipop and a pat on the back. Sen_JoeManchin insists lollipops be means tested and made of coal

kaitlancollins How did I know this would be one of the things cut. Biden never wanted this in the first place. Another promise not kept, surprised? Not me!

We should be paying people to go to school not charging them.

Do climate policy next!

West Virginia is 45th in education. Sen_JoeManchin would like to keep that way. Maybe they can even hit 50!

the military lures applicants with promises of a college education. this was never going to pass.

What are we getting in exchange for all these cuts

That’s so dumb lol

We treat our children like shit in America. It's shameful.

Did you really expect anything else

Typical Democrat. Over promise, under deliver.

Community college isn’t even that expensive 🙄

Caving? To whom?

🙁

The mighty Empire comes before it's people, at least the bottom half of them. Interestingly, don't the bottom half usually end up fighting the Empires wars?

It was a pipe dream anyways. Community College is fairly affordable, much easier on the budget than a University. If you want to go to college, find a way. Many take courses one class at a time.

Everyone screaming about broken promises, how much free education have you gotten under a Republican controlled President, House, and Senate? How much do you think you will get IF they should win the House and Senate🤔🙄🤷🏼‍♂️

Thk Manchin who seems to think coal mining is the future for America's youth.

😢 My granddaughter is a HS senior. She was so looking forward to it. 😢

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow cool thanks.

Why not invest in our youth and their future Because we don't want to spend money on our own country !! Shamefull

Bummer

Trump sets up huge legal fight to keep White House records secretTrump's lawyers said a request by the congressional January 6 committee for records linked to the insurrection were 'invalid' under the Constitution. For an innocent, transparent, stable genius with great and unmatched wisdom, and nothing to hide, Donald spends an inordinate amount of time, money, and energy trying to keep things hidden. Odd, too, the material he's fighting to keep hidden would actually prove his innocence. Actually the constitution doesn’t give a former President powers to invoke privileges he doesn’t have. You are the “former” President, not the POTUS. Trump was still president, therefore the records request is absolutely valid.
