I didn't do good in highschool because I was a young kid who didn't see the importance of it, yet I graduated with a 3.0 with a bacehlors in accounting, I don't think highschool performance should be a measuring stick.

The problem is we spend too much... and justifying further spending with "this is what we should be spending on" ultimately does more harm than good.
I would have liked to have seen some deep cuts in other areas along with this...
...or maybe a variation of this which actually funded students that want to go to college.Meaning they have completed a 4yr degree.
IMO this will end up being just an extension of high school.
I totally agree man. Low key this is treating the symptom of the problem which is our k-12 system aint good enough.
Dude I was writing code at 16. It was your fault for not taking school seriously.
Smart kids in high school usually turn out well.
Most people would agree if that's what was proposed. No point in giving free education to someone who doesn't value it.
When you say didn't do good what do you mean, like a C student?
Do you think the guy who barely showed up and scraped by with a 66 average should have his college tuition paid for? Why?
yes. but most people would consider that not good.
because people can change, people can improve, and I already think EVERYONE should have free college so
you're still dumb though
I've always been "smart" but I thought public school was bullshyt (it was) so I didn't try
He is just like most liberals who want to blow my hard earned money on bums
I'm not a liberal
I want college to be free for all american citizens, because it's good for society

Congress just spent 120 million on tanks that the military doesn't even want. Are you mad about that? You're getting mad at people wanting education.
You all really think it's fukking wise to put your entire young generation into debt just to get a fukking degree?

It's only bad if there are no academic entry requirements. For example, you can only get in if you have a 27 ACT or above/ 1800 SAT or above (at least 600 on both reading and math).
lol at this limousine liberal switcharoo logic...No one is arguing against having a more educated populous...The argument is about the Department of Education using flimsy requirements and a decreasing budget to try to push this nationally...but again it wont make it past the house or senate so its a moot point...this nothing more than a doggie bone to get liberals in a tizzy for 2016
Not a supporter of Obama or any political bullshyt propaganda, but this should be a good move for allot of people that wants to persue their degree. Free education for two years sounds good to mi, since I'm an college dropout as well ( still 20 years old). Only if CONGRESS pass this, and not raise taxes it would be a good move.
Neg on sight some people don't get it until later in life doesn't mean they shouldn't get a chance.

This is a good idea. It's about time. But for the younger brehs this is a golden opportunity to flip those community college credits to the four year colleges.
So it's just free? Or did "willing to work for it" mean anything?
I'm all for more people being educated at low/no cost, but would like to see something like a mandated community service in exchange for that education.
