I feel like it will be politically more robust if states do it independently of the federal gov. Especially if the federal gov gets in on it
The best ideas being fought for and implemented for domestic policies come from @BernieSanders.
A very big deal.https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/new-york-to-become-the-largest-state-to-offer-tuition-free-public-higher-education/2017/04/08/3fe0563a-1c8b-11e7-9887-1a5314b56a08_story.html …

& residents in red states should be left out when they need it most?
-
No. If it's state law in a bunch of places it will be more politically acceptable at a National level. More likely red states will get it
-
Red states will NEVER get it unless nationally required &funded.Just like school desegregation, civil rights legislation, health care reform
-
I know that, I live in TX. But if blue states adopt it it makes it more likely that we'll get it on a National level. Easier 4 us2demand it
-
Sort of like Marriage Equality & Legal Pot. Blue states show it's possible & works, fed pushes it through, Red states get it later.
-
That's how I see it at least. And people like me in red states have more grounds to demand those things as well.
-
True. I live in Texas too.

California USED TO have tuition-free state college. The immortal Ronald Reagan took it away.
-
Actually, no, it wasn't Reagan. He tried, but it didn't happen until later.

Yes, they do. Had he broken through in states where minority voters are huge percentages of Democrats, he'd be implementing them nationally.

If tuition isn't offered free to everyone, this program will be targeted as a welfare program, not an earned benefit program.

Why is 125k the limit? A family earning 150k is still very middle class in NY. 125k can mean 2 teachers as parents
-
I see single parent families, poor families rewarded and the tightly squeezed middle class getting nothing.125k as a family isn't much

This is awesome, but I thought California and Tennessee already do?
-
California did, but that ended decades ago. My dad fondly recalls when a summer job paid for a year at Cal. Now it barely covers a week.
