I didn't read the thread yet so I don't know what all your opinions are, but something dawned on me regarding this entire free college announcement. I actually think it's more than just another socialist agenda.

So the plan is for the Feds to pay 75% and the states to pay 25%. Thats the key to this whole thing. If the feds were to pay 100%, I wouldnt think what I'm about to write. But since he just signed up the states as part if his plan, I think there's more to the story.

What happens in the states that decide they don't want to participate in this program? That don't want to pay the 25%? Those will most likely be conservative states, right? Well, they'll say "no thanks" and the Dems will attack. The liberal media headline will be "Conservative state majority refuses to give kids a college education". Kids all over those states that refuse will be targeted by liberals, told their futures are being ruined by the republicans, protests will be held and young adults will hit the polls to vote the Republicans out.

This is not a socialist agenda...it's a liberal setup. They promised something that if the republicans refuse, it will give them major firepower to attack republicans. "Haha Repubs, ball's in your court now. You gonna tell all the kids they can't go to college."

This is BS and young adults will fall for it. They won't care that the country can't afford it. My prediction is that conservatives take the heat for this one...smart move by bama.
