Put aside the fact that it’s not free and someone is paying for it etc.
This is the Catch 22. You can’t put aside this fact. The Tax Liability for FREE college would be astronomical. Think Health Care. When 10 to 15 percent of the population received FREE Health Care did Cost go down. NO. This is another Liberal Fantasy.
By the way we also have 125+ Trillion in unfunded Liability as a Country and our National Debt is 20 TRILLION and climbing.

This isn't remotely true. "Free college" means subsidies for community college for qualified applicants (minimum GPA and test scores, have to carry a minimum GPA to continue receiving funds). Bernie's projection is $47B/yr, so even a round up to $100B/yr isn't a catastrophe if it produces long-term economic gains for students.
That being said, I still think it's a bad idea on a federal level. TN has done it on a state level without exploding the state budget.
