JuanitaIguana1 I got free college education from being in the United States military

And when are we cancelling all student debt?

😂

Think bigger picture here. Who really will pay for this in the end? Surely the big banks will find a way to pass these costs on to an already struggling working class.

Never gonna pass. Education, prisons, healthcare and elections are all profit driven industries in the USA, and they're gonna stay that way.

It should be tuition free public college, period. Compromising before negotiating is never a good idea. Don’t propose compromises, start w/ the actual demand and maybe more. It’ll be negotiated down if any of this would even pass w/o progressives finally organizing a strategy

Taxes are already too high. Fuck paying for overpriced education for other people.

There will be P’d off young Americans raised on govt largess in a few years asking why their devalued degree didn’t get them a high paying job immediately and how unfair it is rich people can buy better care vs Medicare. 80/20 rule will still be around.

What about imposing taxes on campaign dollars being used to pay candidate family members? sensanders IlhanMN?

It’s trying to get rid of the whole Democratic Party all they are is stuck in this country dry all they care about is the Democrats that’s it in the filthiest rich people in Hollywood

Every American do not believe what comes out of Bernie Sanders mouth it’s up to us to pay more taxes for everybody to go to college for nothing it’s not gonna be Wall Street is there to be a middle-class paying for people to go to college more taxes out of us

Please. Tax the rich. All of them.

Not really free then, is it. Someone’s paying for it.

It will never pass

Just make Trade School free. Not every body wants/needs a college degree.

Hello Socialism

Wouldn't it be great if everyone who wanted to go to college and was smart enough could just go? Think of how great The United States could be with a highly educated population.

an education you can't get a job with- how unhelpful is that? Colleges should be obligated to make sure students don't get a degree in something that leads nowhere.

Ooohh this is awesome! My college education was so affordable but it's gotten out of control... And Wall Street is out of control... What else makes perfect sense for Wall Street to cover? Let's get on that!

It's not just rich people in the stock market.

Yes!!! About time!!! Great.

SenSanders Billion dollar profits for the top 2%. They can afford to help the country.

Fortunately, this will not get votes

Why not just give College accreditation to the Khan academy. that way everyone could have any education they want for free today.

Lets do this!

Keep the pressure on...too bad King Manchin’s view of being a democrat is ‘in name only’. He received $100,000 from the DNC, why?

How about we make trade school free, how many more financial planners, lawyers, Business and marketing grads do we need. We need electricians, plumbers, etc. We need to make more things in America.

Fund trade schools

How about taxing the ridiculousness of the medical field
