To send Chelsea to college is a dumbass. Yes, Bill and Hillary can afford to send kids to college because everyone can afford "free".
The 1% don't pay for college. There was an OP here about the rich paying for Harvard. Hell, my daughter who was raised by my poor ass was offered a full ride to Harvard because of her academics and my inability to pay. You think that when these institutions know they will get millions in endowment donations from the parents of the 1%'s children and from those grads when they make their millions are gonna make them pay?
By the way, my daughter chose another school and got free tuition but had to pay for everything else. I am still paying on those high % rate loans.
So to say he isn't for free college for everyone because rich people can afford it is just downright laughable.
So Bill, since you could have afforded to pay for Stanford to Chelsea, but didn't, I invite you to pay off the loans for my daughters. Or, at the least admit that free college for all is a really good idea.

(52,147 posts)if you think there are no rich folk at UNC, the University of Michigan, Berkeley, Ohio State, the Universities of Illinois and Wisconsin, or Penn State to name just a few, you are surely incorrect.
