That's what President Obama said he would like to see in an announcement the White House posted to Facebook and Vine on Thursday.
He's proposing to make the first two years of community college free.
"Everyone understands that education is the key to success for our kids in the 21st century, but what we also understand is that it's not just for kids. We also have to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to constantly train themselves for better jobs, better wages and better benefits," the president said.
A commendable initiative. However, as we know, nothing is free and from my readings this is a 5 billion dollar initiative without any clear funding plan.
we spend billions on welfare and figuring out how to kill people, why can't we spend money educating people? The government will get it back 10 fold. Would you rather collect taxes off someone with no education making 15K a year or someone making 45K a year? Figure what they would pay in taxes over a lifetime of working. This is and always has been a no brainer
Be careful what you say about community colleges. We've published some pretty damning videos from ivy league colleges referencing political questions and answers from those students.
This POSOTUS is a perfect example that shows not everyone should go to college...he has almost as many degrees as a thermometer yet he's dumber than a box of rocks!
Hopefully, more and more of us are beginning to wake up to the fact that free stuff doesn't always make things better.....
has no one paid attention to common core??? lets see the feds say were gonna pay for all of your stuff then they force the schools to adopt their agenda. this is not a freebee it is the federal government getting into the colleges
Follow my lead. Only allow students with A's and B's to go for free. IF that's what he wants to do. Your tax dollars already go to fund ALL community colleges.
"Only allow students with A's and B's to go for free?"
So we are enacting age discrimination? I am not a "student" and would love to get a degree. How are you going to determine my grade value and whether I am worthy of attending college?
Professors, administrators, clerks, and maintenance people, unlike the rest of us, are perfectly willing to work for free. That's the ONLY way this goof's plan would actually be "free". How have so many Americans come to believe that the government has ANY money all and can magically make something out of nothing? That cannot, however, excuse the most powerful man on the planet -- the leader of the greatest economy in history -- from being that naïve and stupid. "Stupid" is being kind and generous. Probably naïve, too. Keep cheering.
Joe @ 9:07 You'd think right? But the liberal way is to reward failure. SO, everyone with good grades pays for 4 people to go to school so the derelicts can go for free.

That's a very good idea but would never fly with the democrats. They would lower the standards in the grade schools again. The other major problem we have is that the "stupid" democrats and Obama supporters actually believe that "education is the key to success." Anyone with a functioning brain knows that is only a very small part of being a successful self sufficient person. Being successful starts from the cradle and begins with children leaning a good work ethic and the value of a dollar and saving and having positive role models in their lives in the form of a mother and a father. It starts with parents who teach and instill in their children what is appropriate for a situation and what is not. You can have all the education in the world but without these basic ideals you won't be successful. I could go on and on but won't. People just need to learn and accept that the key to success is NOT just an education and it's only a big democrat/liberal lie.
Why so hostile? College is not mandatory by law. People who don't wish to attend won't. How is investing in someone who wants to further there education a bad idea? So many of you are toxic to be around. You hate life so much, so miserable, you have to make everyone else so to feel alive.
10:48 Then how about you pay for it, When are you people going to start becoming responsible. You are nothing but a leech a sponge and the worst part about it is you probably multiplied and spit out children you can not even provide a education for if they want it and are capable. You are a very bad role model, running around with your hand out. Get some pride! It will benefit you and more importantly any children who may have had the misfortune to be born to you. The only thing toxic are you bottom feeders and those who raised this sub culture who want and expect everything for free. FYI-I don't hate life. I have a good wonderful worry free life and it's because I made excellent choices which didn't include obtaining anything I could not afford. Now I can afford a lot of things but don't buy them. People like you are miserable. People who have to go around begging for free things. Yes I'm hostile alright because it's about time you leeches were put in your places and told the way it is which is something if you had decent parents would have taught you.
Some community colleges already have this in action where students with A's and B's go for free. There should be a reimbursement contract where if the student gets below a certain GPA per semester, have them pay back their tuition, books, etc.
Exactly what I thought when I heard this Joe. The stipulation, if this is enacted, is a GPA of 2.5 in their community college courses. 2.5?!?!?! That is the definition of coasting along, doing just enough to get by. A's and B'a should be a strict requirement, and i would go further and say only student with A's and B's in their senior year of high school should be even considered. How much money would be wasted on people who go for one term and then quit, just because it was free and they didn't have anything better to do.
Liberals want everything to be FREE. They WANT YOU to be DEPENDENT on government.
Only the rich will attend ivy league schools and guess who has more money then everyone else, elected government officials.
The government will wash out ALL credibility and down play a degree from community colleges and the only worthy degrees will be ones that cost a fortune.
There's always methods to their madness, you'll see. Print out this comment and paste it somewhere so when it happens, (and it will) you can say, Joe Albero was 100% correct.

When ARE you people going to stop wanting everything for free? When are YOU going to start believing in personal responsibility which, includes paying for your own children and their way? I'll ask the question as well, because I totally do not understand-What kind of parent raises a child to run around like a common beggar with their hands out, wanting everything for free? And the big question is what in the hell kind of parent expects the government to pay for their child? Not a very good one that's for sure. Some people are very sick and twisted. They've replaced the government with a solid familiar structure. They exemplify all that is wrong in the country.
Ha Ha! Ivy League! Is there even an Ivy League university you would WANT your grandchildren to attend? Really? Mine will do without the liberal ninny Communist professor brainwashing thank you.
Let's go one step further. Common Core should assure that pretty much anyone and everyone should be an A or B student. That being said anonymous 1:03, no discrimination.
Did you guys attend public school coming up? Yeah? Did you pay for it? No. Someone else did.
You leeches that used the public education system on someone elses dollar should be sterilized. *rolls eyes*
Being angry doesn't make you right.
Nor does being uncivil.
And quite honestly most of the angry ones here have no education and probably live off the government tit in some form or another.
You lost your leg in the war? Did I tell you to go? What's that you say? You deserve a check from the government? Pay your own way!
I could go on. But why bother? It's not like up to this point we listen to you angry, toxic little trolls anyway. Food Stamps aren't going anywhere and soon well have free public adult education.
"Food Stamps aren't going anywhere and soon well have free public adult education."
You are correct 1:16. This because of people like you, who had the misfortune of being born to useless parents. They did you the worst disservice a parent could do to a child. They failed you miserably. Shameful people who hadn't even the decency to raise a child who believes in personal responsibility. You are to be pitied and they are to be cursed for the disgraceful low class people they are. They had no business even having children and the perfect example of why abortion needs to remain in place. Hopefully you will learn from their evil ways and teach any children you have better.
When is he going to stop trying to run our lives. I'm going on 65 and I hope I am alive when he is done. I started working at the age of 16 plus went school. No one paid my way so why should I pay for anyone. If you want it then work for it like the rest of us that didn't ask for help. Yet this man wants to give it all away. If no one stops him we will be down the tubes sooner then you know. The rest of the world is laughing at us like never before. It is all because of him.map
If there's an A or B clause, then all the idiots graduating high schools will be given A's and B's, whether they can add, subtract, or spell and use proper grammar or not.
Even if our tax dollars already fund community colleges this statement has a purpose;it is by my count the first move toward eliminating or forgiving 4 year college debt.The trick is to always be one step in front of Obama,not one step behind him.For that reason this should not fly,because those amounts are astronomical and economy threatening like everything else he does.True,loan paybacks make life impossible for some graduates,but the economic alternative will pull the rug out from under traditional colleges once the momentum shifts in favor of community colleges.
Germany set up free college, they called the "Reeducation facilities", those who were sent to them learned the Nazi way to think, and act. Obama wants this to change young minds!!
I say I turn this whole comment string around and look at it from the professors' perspective. As an employee, the professor will be loyal to his employer.
If it's the student paying him, he will be loyal to the student and provide him with a quality education that will reap him rewards in life, so he can afford to send his children to college and continue to pay professors.
If the professor is paid exclusively by the government, then he will be loyal to the government and teach the students what the government wants him to, so he keeps getting paid a salary from the government.
It reminds me of a funny incident with my daughter being given an assignment that asked at the end her opinion of the "holocaust".
After I guided her in research on the internet, real research, she compiled her report and opinion.
The African American teacher, knowing who runs the teachers union and the education system in geenral, said she could not accept it. After some time and refusal to redo she finally did though.

I have had many black/African American(or what ever they want to be called) teachers and learned absolutely nothing from them. It is painfully obvious that the minorities were pushed through high school and college because they lowered the standards.
I take that back I learned that even in America a lazy black person can be successful through the government.
@945 I'm not sure I understand your comment as its stated.
To clarify I'm 100% for community college being free for the 1st two years. To all. Whoever wishes to go.
My comment is to those who claim the poor are leeches because they'd love to attend college "free" when each of these posters attended a public school for free.
Or how about the fact the Government makes 500-600 thousand dollars per birth certificate issued from other countries loans that even half could be given to the citizen would see them educated, fed and sheltered. Welfare free.
Pell grants are available for low income students already, not necessary to add yet another "program". It"s not like a community college degree is going to make that much difference, especially if it's in "General Studies" or "Music Theory" or "African American Studies".
There are so many job seekers out there right now with college degrees, that if a potential employer wants someone with a degree, they can hire them anytime.
A commendable initiative. However, as we know, nothing is free and from my readings this is a 5 billion dollar initiative without any clear funding plan.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Enact this and watch welfare/food stamp dependency plummet over time.

Or how about the fact the Government makes 500-600 thousand dollars per birth certificate issued from other countries loans that even half could be given to the citizen would see them educated, fed and sheltered. Welfare free.
Pell grants are available for low income students already, not necessary to add yet another "program". It"s not like a community college degree is going to make that much difference, especially if it's in "General Studies" or "Music Theory" or "African American Studies".
ReplyDeleteThere are so many job seekers out there right now with college degrees, that if a potential employer wants someone with a degree, they can hire them anytime.
