With barely a whimper, free community college for all Americans bit the dust, at least for now.

Already stripped from the pared-down Build Back Better bill proposed by the Biden administration in October, free community college will not re-emerge as a free-standing bill in 2022.

An initiative that has been implemented successfully in 19 states as different as Arkansas and California, you might think that two years of free college might have been a model for elevating successful local initiatives as federal policy.

I guess ())(*^$#$ Manchin and the gang didn't get the memo on how Germany educates its children or Denmark for that matter.....and I guess when someone gets tax breaks for coal/ big oil then they aren't a moocher .......try again (*^$#@)(%# Manchin you are what they call a moocher...

1. Moochin says what?

Fucking asshole.

5. He doesn't actually say anything in the article

He may have said something somewhere, but there's no quotes in the article, he's just being used as a strawman. But that's kinda typical for alternet.

2. I'm amazed at people who turn good things into problems.

Save your worries for bad things, Joe.

3. I listen to this asshole whining about inflation hurting families in his state.

But the old tightwad decided to kill the child tax credit.I’m really tired of people pretending to care when they don’t

6. I'm sorry but who's biggest job is it to

get on the phone and beg for "donations" (bribes) ? Why its you Congress critters that's who the moochers are.

7. How does he feel about public education for the first 13 years?

But add 2-4 more and all hell breaks loose? What a block head.

8. "moochers"

But wouldn't they have a better chance at a higher paying job, the more education they can get?
Doesn't he have his head up his ass?

9. This guy is a F'en shyster and uses his supporters to make a grand life for himself. He's the

type of person that destroys progress and better lives. And, WV is not exactly the best place in the world to live ... that said, it's a beautiful state.

10. You can tell he's a repug by his selfishness. A member of the

"I have mine, fuck the rest of you." group.

13. Manchin sounds uneducated.

Does he expect everyone to be a hard laborer? Education provides options.

14. Coal miners never needed no stinkin' college degrees, so get real snowflakes.

15. Like his gross ass family? Got it. nt

16. Ever met a bigger moocher than Manchin?

Talk about being on the public dole… Not only is ManChin stealing his salary he’s mooching off Big Pharma, Big Oil, and Big Med at the same time. He needs to keep his mouth shut.

18. "Here in WV we're proud to be #45 in education: less than a third of us

graduated college; and one in seven of us can't even read! We like being below average in math and wouldn't change for a brazilian dollars!"
