Thread: Obama to provide free college at taxpayer expense.

Okay, what's your point? Are you saying you support Obama on this? Just asking .........

This plan will cost taxpayers 60 billion dollars over a ten year period.

I am with you MW, I don't support Obama. Just because we pay for K-12 doesn't mean that we have to pay for secondary education. People can get their secondary education paid for by excelling in schoo. Are we just paying to lower the bar?

MW, according to this article from the Hill, it is going to cost 34 Billion a year. And we know that once the government starts picking up the tab, the cost skyrockets.

Looks like Cecelia Munoz is running it so we know that US citizen's education will not be the priority, it will be for illegals.

Obama's 'Free' Community College Plan Could Cost $34B Per Year

Previewing an item from his upcoming State of the Union address, President Obama announced a "Free Community College" plan Thursday evening for "anyone who's willing to work for it":

According to Justin Sink of the Hill, Cecilia Muñoz, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, declined to put a price tag on the plan during a conference call Thursday evening. Rather Muñoz said details of the plan will be in the president's next budget proposal.

However, the president's announcement said that the plan could benefit as many as nine million students who could save an average of $3,800 per year. This would put the total cost at a little more than $34 billion.

In a video accompanying the announcement, the president said that his plan would be "making two years of community college free for anyone who's willing to work for it." At $34 billion per year, taxpayers at least will be working for it, willing or not.
