Has Obama Gone Off The Deep End?

$60 billion to fund 2 years of free community college for ‘resposnible’ students? Qui bono, Barack? Seriously. Look, I understand that you enjoyed the free ride of affirmative action programs and have not worked an honest day’s living in your life. But now you want to institutionalize the right to attend college? And a community college at that? What the hell can someone gain from going community college? Seriously? Woodworking? ‘Social’ studies? How to use Microsoft Word? I learned how to do the latter on my own, at no cost to nobody.
And tell me, Barack, why should the taxpayers pay for this? Why don’t YOU and YOUR corporate/Wall Street cronies pay for it? If it’s something you really believe in, you’ll raise the money privately – not fleece the taxpayers again.
