Bernie Sanders Just Introduced His Free College Tuition Plan

61. She also used Chelsea to make that point.

Pretty much that wealthy families are able and should contribute to tuition. I think her point is that people tend to value things that they contribute to more. Sort of the sweat equity thing, she had planks in her plan to make everyone put something into getting an education, be it family contributions of a certain percentage, work-study opportunities etc.

There are lots of ways to achieve affordable education for our students to make us more productive and competitive in the world. I think some people are so mired in the team sports and the adulation (or just the argument) that they forgot that Bernie and Hillary were not enemies, they were actually working together for years.

Elections bring all these other factors into the mix, politics and egos get involved, and not just for the candidates (usually not so much the candidates in normal cycles), and this one was pretty nasty if only due to the online needling by outside forces whose goal was chaos.

We've all managed to rub along together, occasionally bickering and disagreeing but also learning from one another. How boring would it be if we only ever agreed. We'd be like those brainwashed folks on the other side. <shudder>

Enough with letting the people who come in here to provoke nastiness get their own way, they're merely seeking entertainment and don't really care about the issues we're all facing. Especially now, we don't have time for these games. We've got some treasonous incompetent idiots to deal with, we must not let them distract us.
