That doesn't make college free, it simply means that you have more time to pay off federal student loan debt once you graduate. The average student graduates with $22,000 in student loan debt.

How did you make the jump in logic that this somehow makes college free?

Obama will accelerate a law passed by Congress last year that lowers the maximum required payment on student loans from 15 percent of discretionary income annually to 10 percent for eligible borrowers. It goes into effect next year, instead of 2014. Also, the remaining debt would be forgiven after 20 years, instead of 25. The White House said about 1.6 million borrowers could be affected

I am sure you think k-12 shouldn't be "free" either.
Do you think government schools are working?

By technicality, no.

However, the "free" means "None of this idiotic overcharged price for an education that is forced in this country to get anywhere in life".

Like I said the quest for liberal utopia is marching on. They don't care about anything as long as it's free. Complete and utter insanity. Like children wanting toys. Hey it's free to them right. LOL

Why should that be done on the backs of people who pay off those loans, or can pay more?

Well if you don't earn an income you don't pay it appears. Not a jump at all it's what the friggen guy said.

Sure it has, people are laughing all across this country at the fools sleeping in parks and getting run home so the public spaces can be cleaned of their filth.

If you want to go to college you pay for it, your education has nothing to do with me and I get no benefit from you getting a $100K liberal arts degree.

How do you know my education hasn't been a "benefit" to the people?

Also, I will be sure to tell some cops I know that their education wasn't a benefit. Even though you claim the police force is. That is a bit of a paradox.
