Obama. free college to anyone willing to work for it

- Start date
Yeah, somebody will pay up front. But then again, once that college grad begins working they will undoubtedly start paying more taxes as a result of a higher income for the rest of their life.
Everybody wins.

So you going to bitch about ROTC and other military programs that essentially do the same thing?
My roommate in college was in the national guard in the 9th year of working on his degrees.

Essentially do the same thing? I don't think you have a clue about ROTC scholarships or acceptance into a service academy. You have to earn a ROTC scholarship, they don't just hand them out.
Eight years of military service for four years of tuition and it doesn't cover room & board or books at most schools. Does that sound the same to you? It's a tremendous commitment.
My 18 year old son is waiting to find out if he's going to West Point, VMI, The Citadel or Norwich. We've spent the last few months knee deep in the process.

nahhh he doesnt wait for the details. as a dedicated headline scraper, he simply repeats whatever tagline is on the top half of huffpo slate or whatever facespace crap he got retwatted.
the details are irrelevant, anything after the headline is TL;DR

That's the dream, isn't it?
He just received his Congressional nomination to West Point and the Naval Academy from Ellmers. I can't say I'm a big fan of hers, but since she only gets 10 nominations, it was a happy surprise that West Point is on the table.

This is another example of Obama's extremely poor execution of a good idea...why not pay for EVERYONE to go to college/university with the proviso that certain ensuing careers (doctors, teachers, etc that are expensive to train) then have to serve a certain period working for the State?
The State gets paid back indirectly by having more staff available and then higher tax revenues from these newly educated people's higher paying jobs.

I think it's a good idea.
Hopefully it works out.

I went to a trade school over twenty years ago and most students that were there that had their school paid by the government were at the bottom of the class or flunked out. So free doesn't really work to good in my opinion.

Well, the good thing is you don't have to believe a word of it. But that is what it look like to me.
