Hillary fights against tuition free college... FREE Prison is ok [View all]

The Clinton's are AGAINST
tuition-free public college education.

Although they are in FAVOR of
mass incarceration, for FREE.

Apparently the Clintons are OK
with the cost of incarceration,
but not education?


According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), 2,220,300 adults were incarcerated in US federal and state prisons, and county jails in 2013 – about 0.91% of adults (1 in 110) in the U.S. resident population.


A report by the organization, "The Price of Prisons," states that the cost of incarcerating one inmate in Fiscal 2010 was $31,307 per year. "In states like Connecticut, Washington state, New York, it's anywhere from $50,000 to $60,000," he said. Yes - $60,000 a year.


How much is tuition?

Type of College Average Published Yearly Tuition and Fees

Public Two-Year College (in-district students) $3,347

Public Four-Year College (in-state students) $9,139


Public Four-Year College (out-of-state students) $22,958

Private Four-Year College $31,231


NOTICE:
incarcerating one inmate in Fiscal 2010 was $31,307 per year
Private Four-Year College $31,231

If Wall St can't profit...
it's too expensive, right Hillary?

He's been taking independents by huge margins, and they are now 40% of the electorate n/t eridani Apr 2016 #60
Yet BS is STILL 2+ million voters down ... so he hasn't been taking them by large enough margins SFnomad Apr 2016 #61
So we nominate the candidate who has the worst chance of among the largest sector of votere? eridani Apr 2016 #62
Democrats have spoken ... they don't want BS ... they want Secretary Clinton SFnomad Apr 2016 #63
They want to lose? The RW has a tough time dealing with actual honesty eridani Apr 2016 #64
So, you think Secretary Clinton will bring out the wingers "in droves" .. but that a Socialist won't SFnomad Apr 2016 #65
She has very high unfavorable ratings, and no traction with independents eridani Apr 2016 #68
BS doesn't have traction with real Democrats. Secretary Clinton will do just fine SFnomad Apr 2016 #71
That is irrelevant. Anyone who thinks a candidate can win a GE with 30% of the electorate-- eridani Apr 2016 #72
Anyone that thinks Secretary Clinton is only going to get 30% of the electorate SFnomad Apr 2016 #73
I guess with an inevitable candidate, you don't need to do any phonebanking eridani Apr 2016 #74
Yeah, yeah, yeah ... I don't put much stock in that .. in fact I don't believe much SFnomad Apr 2016 #75

Single payer is a right wing talking point? Please explain? n/t eridani Apr 2016 #80
And BS Cheerleaders and right wingnuts feign the same kinds of ignorance n/t SFnomad Apr 2016 #85
Give me a url demonstrating that any winger has ever supported single payer n/t eridani Apr 2016 #90
You must be one of the slow ones ... I've never said ANYTHING about single payer SFnomad Apr 2016 #92
No Sanders supporter gives a rat's ass about Benghazi. We do, however criticize Clinton for eridani Apr 2016 #93
