State schools. I know of no state school that costs that damn much. What a dumb idea to go to school for half a mill ticket and expect Bernie to save them from the debt they owe. And why in the wirld they think it will be retroactive blows my mind.
I bet if he won, they'd be pissed to learn that they were not listening to him and he did no promise them what they think he did. Just like the single payer/public option they thought Obama promised them.
