Hillary announced her free tuition plan

Hold onto that gold.... lol

Free in-state tuition at in-state schools for children from households earning less than $125k/yr, which would cover 80% of all college bound kids.

Sweet! The best way to drive down the cost of something is obviously to throw unlimited taxpayer money at it. What can go wrong?

Yes. Lucky me. Since I'm so rich (not, but I make more than $125k) I get to pay for my 3 kids to go through college at $100k each, and now I get to pick up the tab a bunch of kids I don't know to go spend 5 years in a college setting studying art history.

And like you said, I would expect the cost of higher ed at state schools to continue rising through the roof now that the government will pay for 4 out of 5 kids.

Nice solution to her fix of not allowing student loan debt to be written off.

Can you say sucker?

She's obviously pandering to Bernie supporters.
