(37,648 posts)A lot of students get grants. And the other students who would be provided free college (tuition or whatever) who currently pay their own way.
It would be a lot. A whole lot.
I think maybe paying for the first 2 years is more feasible. And then states, in order to get the federal funding they get, would have to contribute to the last 2 years, maybe.
That's in addition to the grant system that currently exists, maybe.
I like the idea of that Tobin tax...as long as there's an exemption for small investors (I'm a retiree, and I have investments in my retirement account...an additional tax would hit me very hard...I'm not wealthy....I'm just an ordinary middle class retired gal who worked in what might be called middle-management). I sacrificed a lot to add to my retirement account over the years. All the vacations I didn't take, the cars I didn't buy...all that is wrapped up in my retirement account.

primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
