2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: On opening college education for all who can benefit [View all]Demsrule86
(68,455 posts)29. There is no Hope any more
You have Hope lite scholarships that cover about 55% of tuition these days and Zell scholarships basically designed for the wealthy...Bernie has not thought out the college thing...I have seen how bad it can be. We live in Northern Ohio where tuition is still fairly reasonable. I would not want anything resembling Hope in this state. Also, what about states that opt out as they did with health care...No Bernie is wrong about this.

Thanks Thucy! I agree there has to be a better way to fund schools. I know it went to the courts in

Thanks for your civil response. It's really in short supply here at DU these days.
