In reply to the discussion: Clinton's Argument That Free College Is Bad Because Rich Kids Can Take Advantage Makes No Sense [View all]"Mrs. Clinton would pay for the plan by capping the value of itemized deductions that wealthy families can take on their tax returns. The tax and spending elements of her proposal would need support from Congress a tall order, since it is now run by Republicans while the plans goals would depend on support from state governors and legislators, more and more of whom have been Republicans recently."
I'm sure the GOP will rally around Sec Clinton's plan seeing as how well she's liked. How did depending on GOP governors work out for the ACA? What's the percentage of income that gets paid back? How long is the term? The student needs to work 10 hours per week while in college? Is that in addition to the work they'll be doing to eat, buy books and other expenses incurred due to living and breathing?Just like Chelsea? Her proposal leaves more questions than it answers.
