Will she get every single thing she wants to do accomplished? Mostly that will depend on what kind of Congress gets elected, of course. But her plans are detailed and include explanation of where the funding comes from. But no politician has direct, personal control over this, so why you ask the question only about Hillary is confusing.
Yup,, free college.. debt free means free ya know..

They did. They borrowed $T from taxpayers and gave it to political hacks as "stimulus", gave amnesty to all of Wall Street, and expanded the endless war in the middle east.

A long as Hillary gets her cut of the profits, she will agree to anything.

So every time you go to the grocery store, you go into debt? Or you just take things without paying since debt free means free?

I think they mean that it's free, because if someone can't afford it, then they can have it anyway, because the taxpayer will pay for it. Sounds like that's the plan. Basically, instead of people having to pay for college with loans, other working people will get the bill through tax increases.
