It really wasn't all that bad. But we knew we didn't want to live like that for life. So... we worked and earned our way up and out of that. If we can do it, so can anyone else.

I think it's understood, I don't think it needs to be explained.

Makes no sense that there is an income cut-off.

I'm wondering about that, too. It assumes parents with the means to do so will always fund their children's college educations. In what world does that always happen?

I don't see where this does so.

I also question its funding mechanism. This sounds to me like a proposal that Hillary Clinton knows will never pass Congress, which makes it a safe "anti-Wall Street" proposal. She gets to pretend that she isn't owned by the banks, while not actually proposing anything that would ever realistically take away their special treatment.
This is all true but it doesn't mean someone not totally incompetent shouldn't work to do this.

Don't mean to trivialize your personal struggle-but people have it far worse.
If you were raised in a semi-functional family that already counts for a lot.

Very few. This is why I don't want them completely running my life while the radical leftists scream of government corruption while wanting that same government to control all of their finances and even tell them what to eat.

Remember, the radical left wants to appoint a nanny, the government, to run all of our lives.
