Free college if you have good grades? What?? My boys had to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq for six years for the same benefit (which is well deserved!) I never post political stuff on my facebook - but I think this warrants a rant from me. If you want to go to college - you will find a way - we dont have to offer it for free!! geez. WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama wants publicly funded community college available to all Americans, proposing to make higher education as free and universal as high school. Obama is calling for the government to pay for the first two years of community college for those who keep their grades up. Administration officials arent revealing the initiatives cost and say funding details will come in the presidents budget. It would have to pass a spending-averse Republican Congress. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden plan to speak on the proposal Friday at Pellissippi State Community College in Knoxville, Tennessee. The White House estimates 9 million students could participate and save an average of $3,800 in tuition per year. That suggests an annual cost in the tens of billions of dollars.
