Bernie Sanders' Bold, New Plan May Have Just Locked Down the Millennial Vote

95. Have you looked at what it costs to go to college in this country today? What jobs can students

get that will pay them enough to cover the enormous amounts of money it would take to get, say a medical degree? And what makes you think that they ARE NOT Working to get through college?

My nephew, fortunate enough to have parents who can pay some of his tuition to get a law degree, also works part time, will still be in debt for the loans he needed to pay for that education, well into his forties.

Who do you know who can afford to put two children through college in today's world here in the US? All college students I know are working sometimes two jobs.

There WAS a time when you could work your way through college, but not since college became a commodity to make money for the already obscenely wealthy.

And Bernie is not talking about paying all of the tuition. He's talking about a Democracy where there are public schools that provide an opportunity for those with abilities who otherwise wouldn't stand a chance of achieving their goals of a college education.

There is no better investment for a society than education. It pays for itself as can be seen in countries that are far more advanced than we are and where people have such opportunities. In every way they are better societies.

It doesn't matter what stock costs, it is a LUXURY that most ordinary people cannot afford when the choice is between food for their kids or buying a stock.

Like I said, if I ever can afford to play the stock market I will be more than happy to invest in America's future.
