Is Hillary’s College Plan More Progressive Than Bernie's?

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have very different plans on how to handle the rising costs of college. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Speaking at a "Today" show town hall event Monday morning, Clinton suggested she wanted students to have debt-free tuition, not free college overall, the latter of which could benefit people like billionaire Trump's children.

Clinton was responding to a question from an audience member who attended Monday's show with her grandson. The grandmother asked Clinton how she would make college more affordable, and Clinton brought up her $350 billion New College Compact.”*

No Hillary, it's not free education for some less fortunate, it's free education for everyone.

Feel the Bern!

I like Bernie's plan better, but even if it wasnt you know Bernie means it Hillary is NOT going to do it and we all know it.

[sepehrjamali]

Hillary would say anything to get your vote. At least Bernie says something that's possible to do.

Rich kids don't go to public colleges. Generally speaking.

socialism without capitalism becomes communism, capitalism without Socialism becomes fascism and eventual oligarchy.

we gotta balance it

I don't dislike Hillary as I do the Republicans, but I still want Bernie to win.

Here is the problem though:
1. Who is more likely to actually follow through with their plan?
2. Who is not working with the corporations?
3. Who is more likely to do more to save the economy as a whole?

Bernie's plan is much better than Hillary's and I will be voting for him

[RawbeardX]

Hilldawg talks the talk, Bernie walks the walk.

Bernie is talking about free PUBLIC college. Trump's kids or other rich kids don't go to public colleges, they go to private colleges, because it makes them feel special.. and that wouldn't change under Bernie's policies.

If she's telling the truth. Does anyone believe she will raise taxes from the very people she got money to run her campaign?

[talkindurinthemovie]

don't forget the fact she's a huge liar

[apocalypseplough]

You Americans ... 322 million people and you keep voting in members of the same families. You're like a damn monarchy.

[PervySage]

I agree with Kyle from Secular Talk on this one. Bernie's plan leaves room to negotiate and Hillary's doesn't.

[crysis]

if you believe any plan from that woman you are a fool.

[ashleysmall]

I'm skeptical if or not she means what she's saying, and I'm also skeptical if her plan would work in the first place.

[grevberg]

Bernie actually means it that's the difference.

[zheega]

She is already preparing to flip on this IF she wins the presidential race. If she just plainly states "completely free" now it is really hard to flip-flop later.

[WilliamHunterII]

The thing about Sanders is that he is willing to have reasonable discussion, get input from all and come to a reasonable agreement. And Sanders is not afraid to get out front with his ideas. All this while Hillary is testing the air to see which way the wind is blowing.

Bernies dragging her to the left hehehe
