‘Free’ Community College Under Obama’s Proposed Plan
President Obama has announced a proposal for free community college.
Of course, there’s no such thing as free. Someone is paying.
Obama Proposes 2 Years of Free Community College
President Barack Obama announced his proposal Thursday to provide two years of free community college tuition to American students who maintain good grades.
“Put simply, what I’d like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everyone who’s willing to work for it,” Obama said in a video filmed Wednesday aboard Air Force One and posted to Facebook. He made the announcement as part of his pre-State of the Union tour and will formally lay out the proposal Friday in a speech in Tennessee.
The White House estimated it would save the average community college student $3,800 annually and said it could benefit millions.

Tennessee has the Hope Scholarship paid for by those who are really bad at math. IE the TN Lottery, if you ignore the fact that money is completely fungible, and largely the TN taxpayers if you don’t.
