:lol: Hopefully this is a joke post. To claim this as a make/break wedge issue is, to put it kindly, extremely naive.
It would be political suicide for the GOP oppose this idea. The can fight over how it is funded, but if they kill it, President Hillary Clinton and her majority in the House will make it happen. This thing should sail through with bipartisan support. The GOP won't want this as a wedge issue in 2016. It will kill them.
Sounds to me like Obama is willing to do a little horse trading.
He sees the reality of the GOP controlling both houses and he knows that if he takes out his veto pen every time they send him a bill that the Democrats will feel the wrath at the polls in 2016. This smells like he's floating a deal...
I'm guessing he meant to apply themselves?
The more modern term for "trade school" is "technical college," and a rose by any other name....
The Associate of Applied Science is what is offered (and there are shorter certification programs too), and I don't care what any hifalutin' college grad says: The person who pulls into my driveway in August who can fix my a/c system is a god.
No.
I live among similar species, we call them "socialists" and no, they have not changed solutions offered in the 65 years I've been around.
Actually, it's not free education that undervalues degrees, but the sheer number of people who hold those degrees. But yes, something needs to be done to curb costs. Even people in my generation who have it significantly better than the current generation of college graduates are still paying off their school loans. When I hear of what current students owe I just see a lifetime of bonded labor.
You really don't believe that he's just going to sign a clean bill for something like the Keystone pipeline without getting something he wants, do you?

There are plenty of examples of markets that overtime drove themselves out of the marketplace by raising their prices too high. I don't see why people insist on thinking a market that has driven itself to the brink should be saved. Why not look for other solutions?
McConnell promised an open amendment process, remember?You really don't believe that he's just going to sign a clean bill for something
like the Keystone pipeline without getting something he wants, do you?
Such as?
A ridiculous idea that works in other developed nations.Lol.....
" President Hillary Clinton " is just a bit less ridiculous than a Majority Democrat House.
Clintons influence in the Midterms was nada, zero, zilch.
Opposing it isn't Political suicide, because its a ridiculous idea.
$34B is doable. It is limited to kids with good grades.
Breaking News fresh off the presses! Not really sure how all this will work. I guess when it fails in the Congress he'll blame the Republicans... :roll:
Obama: President Proposes 2 Free Years of Community College
Does anyone have any thoughts as to how this can actually work?
Because I'm not liking this idea:
I think when it comes to student loans and education the Republicans are usually wrong. It seems many of them think those with debt were "irresponsible borrowers" and many haven't been in graduate education for years, back when they all went to law school tuition wasn't as outrageous. Some are proponents of "work your way through school" which simply isn't possible for graduate programs and increasingly difficult for undergrad ones as well. They don't realize that in today's day and age it's not uncommon for graduate programs to charge 40k+ for tuition on top of living expenses for which loans are basically the only option to pay for that.
Such as other solutions or other markets that have driven themselves to be unmarketable? How do you go about fixing the problem of cost by giving potential consumers of colleges more capability to get what they can't afford? While that might help individual consumers it should allow colleges to raise their costs even more without feeling any negative consequences of their actions. A better solution would be to limit peoples ability to take out loans for college, so that college has to deal with a consumer base with less capability to pay their extremely high prices. You are not going to lower prices by giving away access to services.

"Free" my ass :roll:
I thought you supported vouchers for this sort of thing .

He has not demonstrated much negotiation skill to this point, I agree with that. However, he really hasn't had to until now, either.Yes I do, he has know clue how to negotiate anything.
