Confused: When did HRC support free education in Community Colleges?

I need to know, because that sounds like what Bernie said, not what she was proposing. She was actually saying it was impossible. Now she's pushing it. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Much of what she says seems to be mirroring what she was against early on in the campaign and that Bernie was supporting.

*Still salty over her treatment of that young man who called for her transcripts.

that I have heard that from her. As the race gets tighter she is echoing more and more of Bernie's platform and language. I can guarantee you that, should Bernie make it to the general, he will be saying the very same thing he has been saying throughout the primary. Hillary? I can almost guarantee she will NOT.

but he is four years of college, and yes, this is new.

And now she is going to support 15... but 12 in federal... head hurts.

not watching it, and by my count she has gotten far more pressured than he did actually.

She has gotten flustered a few more times.

There was no copying of Sanders. Clinton was for it before Sanders entered the race.

“I believe that we should make community college free. We should have debt-free college if you got to a public college or university. You should not have to borrow a dime to pay tuition," Clinton said.


http://fusion.net/story/120148/hillary-clinton-thinks-community-college-should-be-free/

Hillary Clinton said community college should be free during a roundtable with students in Iowa on Tuesday.

“I fully support President Obama’s plan to make community college free,” the newly announced presidential contender said at Kirkwood Community College, the first official stop of her campaign.


Again, not anything new.

I don't see how education is being bartered from her perspective. Education like medical care to me is a right, not something to pay for.
