I don't know where I read that, but I know that I did. Maybe it was a prior position.

Free college? I don't see how we can afford that. And shouldn't the states pony up for that? In Louisiana, the state provides a grant or something tuition, IF you enter college within a year or two after graduating high school. That's a great deal. My extended relative nephew is going to be able to go to go to the local college because of that. The grant pays for a dorm room and other expenses, too.

But I like that he's focusing on that. It's a huge problem and a shame, that a huge wealthy country like the U.S. has millions who can't go to college. What a waste of talent.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
