Yup. There would he cries of discrimination if we tried to send only those who are college ready and only our own citizens. It would cost too much if we sent everyone and tax dollars would be wasted on those who never finish. If they're not motivated to do the work when they are paying for it how much less will motivated will they be when it's free?
I would be for a program that paid back student debt for those who go into high demand fields and finish their degrees.
Community colleges also have vocational classes and trade classes. What's the problem with allowing "those" students in. I'm very concerned about the disconnect in this country among highly educated people who don't interact with less educated, yet very useful, people.
As for the original question: I'm not sure if CC should be free, but ALL college should be much less expensive than it currently is. Before Reagan became governor of California, their state school system was very reasonable.
And where's the money for this going to come from?
How about some sort of tax on goods that are produced in other countries? Companies that keep the ENTIRE company in America should get some sort of reward, I'd say.

You must have missed it, progressives hate it when tax breaks are given to evil corporations and billionaires.
They are actually the exact same thing, tax breaks.
It isn't even an anology.
You really should be the change you wish to see in the world.
Close the corporate welfare/tax loopholes. I am voting for whoever is for that.
no more US tax dollars / welfare for billion $ companies. These same companies who many times hire illegals and import cheap workforce using H-1B visas.
AMERICANS FIRST!
No offense, but this topic is not your strong suit. You're in over your head.

They wouldn't get a tax break, they would just not have to pay taxes for keeping a good chunk of their company off shore. So any companies who uses offshore manufacturing should basically have some sort of import tax.
Why are you defending corporations and billionaires by the way? Just how much money does one CEO making billions need when their lowest paid employee is on temp status?

Exactly!!
I really don't get the rationale behind defending tax breaks and corporate WELFARE (YES! it IS in fact, WELFARE), so that CEO's and multi millionaires/billionaires can keep getting richer, on the US taxpayers teet!
ALL THE WHILE - taking these BILLIONS OF DOLLARS from the US taxpayers and exploiting H-1B visas to import cheap labor in a move which actually screws the US taxpayer

Most liberals call that corporate welfare.
