The idea that a household pulling in $100k a year can reasonably absorb $15k+ a year in tuition... sheesh. These are the gaps that get added, the bureaucracy needlessly layered on, when a program is means tested instead of universalized.

But in order to keep millionaires and billionaires from benefiting, *looks down*, we must exclude the benefits to what amounts to a couple of teachers with 2 kids.

We can raise taxes on the rich and have universal free tuition at public universities. There is no need to create uncertainty for a family with an 8 year old which is hoping to be doing better financially in ten years about whether that would mean failing a means test.

Free college costs as much per year as we INCREASED defense spending. This is not some pie in the sky universal program cost.

Its designed to be devisive and provoke resentment. 100K is middle class on the coasts.

It's lower middle in the cities

100K is the upper-middle class for a family of 2 with no debt...

$100k shared income is not upper anything, anywhere.

So a couple who makes 50k plus 51k a year would be left out. If they have 2 or 3 kids, the kids will have to be saddled with debt.

No. They won't. There are strong subsidies for household income up to $150K.
