Hillary Clinton Joins Gov. Cuomo to Sign Free College Tuition Bill Into Law

He credited the former secretary of state for first conceiving of the program — and said he got the idea after hearing Clinton propose free state college tuition while on the campaign trail last year.

"The inspiration for the idea came from a woman who I know very, very well, who I spent eight years with in Washington," Cuomo said.

Bernie did come around to Hillary's idea of requiring that the wealthy pay for their kids tuition at four year public universities, so that others could go tuition free without as much burden on taxpayers, and all could go to community college for free.

Senator Bernie Sanders stepped into that breach Monday afternoon, introducing a bill with Senator Elizabeth Warren, Representative Keith Ellison, and several other members of Congress. The College for All Act aims to eliminate tuition and fees at public four-year colleges and universities for students from families that make up to $125,000 per year. The bill would make community college tuition-free for all income levels.

"I'm a little different from those who say free college for everybody," she said on NBC's "Today" show in 2015. "I am not in favor of making college free for Donald Trump's kids. I am in favor of making college free for your grandson by having no-debt tuition."

Clinton's plan would make tuition at four-year public colleges and universities "debt free" and would be calculated based on family income.

Her proposal starts by making public college free for families that earn $85,000 or less annually, gradually lifting the threshold up to families that earn $125,000 a year by 2021. Community college would be free for all students, and interest rates on student loans would be decreased.
