President to propose free community college on Friday

[johnnyredstorm]

another entitlement wow education deserves to be free at all levels. no human being should need to pay money to better themselves and become an educated being.

 

[Bert.]

And where's the money coming from to pay for all this? I mean ultimately it's out of our pockets in some way

You have been paying for people to go to college for years now

FAFSA

 

[RustyShackleford]

Yes because this is going to end all the nation building, wars, etc. You act like this is going to replace something. He's creating another damn entitlement. More money out of my pockets.

Straight out of the GOP playbook, as expected. Guess the current way is just peachy. Educating people, your country shouldn't be viewed as an "entitlement".

Don't even argue with dude. He has stated straight up that he doesn't give a **** about the other man.

CC is basically free for a lot of people here in NYC.

If you are in the situation where you are unable to pay for CC out of pocket TAP and FASFA will usually cover everything if youre going to a CUNY

A lot of people i know actually had a bunch of money left over

They have to pay that back. It isn't free.

 

[aNYone]

I thought you only had to pay it back if you fail classes or fall below a certain GPA

No. FASFA is just a loan. If you fail then you pay it back. If you graduate you pay it back. The longer you stay in school then you don't have to pay it back, until 6 months after you finish.

Grants and scholarship make school free. Not loans.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Rumor is he might tie a work or community service requirement to it. Which is would be great, and one form of paying it back if it is community service

 

[rillo561]

So what do you suppose the government do with taxpayer money that is better than offering something as positive as education?!

i like this initiative even more now.

Give it back to me and let me spend it my damn self.

This would be awesome, really. If true, I really want to see how the other side will spin it into a negative.

Fight pointless wars to scare the people into voting for them.

 

[heliumclinton]

I went to a CUNY my 1st two years for free (thanks TAP, PELL, mom being poor) then went to a 4 year university and did great

I think it's good for ppl who did horrible in HS + can't afford to pay for college and don't qualify for grants

 

[rillo561]

Give it back to me and let me spend it my damn self.

Never going to happen, sorry. Would love to see you pave roads, pick up trash so on and so on. You know, things that make day to day life a little easier.

Fafsa ain't no loan bruh it's just a financial aid system.

Lol, seems so logical right? Let me have the money I EARNED

oooo that was my fault then 

i was strictly talking about TAP then which is a grant

You can still go to a CC here for very cheap or nearly free.

Thats dope if it happens

Naw, he's talking about the amount taken away to give away.

 

[rico x hood]

Never going to happen, sorry. Would love to see you pave roads, keep up trash so on and so on.

You asked. At the end of the day I don't believe I should have to pay for anything for anyone that's not my family or close friend. Unfortunately, I already do. So I will fight every new entitlement tooth and nail.

 

[rillo561]

Naw, he's talking about the amount taken away to give away.

Does this include corporate welfare too? Because the social services are a drop in a bucket compared to that.

Would hate to live in that world, maybe Haiti would be better for you or something.

No jobs out there.
