I'm not asking for an essay. I was asking for some sort of proof you were making a all encompassing statement based on some sort of statistics and data. You weren't so carry on.

I know what pell grants are. I received them myself. I was asking a source for this:
I asking for statistics and data Bernie used to make this claim. He already admitted to not having any.
Well community colleges are ran by states and in addition to qualifying for pell grants most students who do also qualify for state based aid so i dont think there has ever been a national study done to address his point concretely..but the point remains that with pell grants + state grant programs + low tuition cost = free tuition at community colleges for low income students.

What about lower middle/working class people who can't be eligible for this aid but don't have enough money to cover it on their own? You point seems to conflict with this claim made:

Absolutely, especially the lower working class. They can't apply for the safety net but can't afford it on their own. Debt slavery it is.
This is insane.
does this include teh students that used all their financai aid and dropped out?
Lower middle/working class people can apply for scholarships like any other student if they dont qualify for any type of pell/state grant..and if they doesnt work out they can take out a small amount of loan to cover the low tuition until they can find a scholarship..Plenty of options out there a national program of free tuition with a 2.5 GPA requirement is not needed and fortunately wont see the light of day in any committee in the house or senate

Yup, I feel it's largely lead to a decline in the middle class.
When I was a lad I couldn't get financial aid so I had to take out loans from citibank.
As an adult on my apartment I pay an exorbitant amount and would like to pay less but can't. I'm not eligible for state or federal housing schemes which have income caps very low(in perspective to the market).
When you get old your social security wont cover/keep up with the cost of inflation, and taxes.
When you get old medicare doesn't cover living in an assisted living facility or home care so you either pay for it yourself (impossible) or you give everything you've worked your whole life for including your home to the state. Say goodbye to passing down the little that you had.
the middle class is in crisis and no one cares, congress, advocates... no one

Associate Story: Fisseha Mekuriaw, Store #3710
Fisseha Mekuriaw, Walmart associate since 2009
A year ago, I enrolled in the nearby community college, Georgia Piedmont Technical College, and have been taking prerequisite courses for medical fields. I feel so fortunate to have been chosen as a recipient of Walmart Associate Scholarship since the beginning of last year. I am well on my way to achieving my academic goals and hope that about a year from now, I will graduate with an Associate's Degree in Clinical Laboratory Technology.
It is not always easy to juggle life and be successful without a little help, and I am truly grateful for the assistance that I am receiving. It has had a great impact on my life and will improve my kids' future.
Thank you again for so generously supporting my endeavor to achieve my goal.
