It’s a lousy $10,000, you selfish little baby.

No, it's at least 400 billion, and it isn't going to fix anything. Lots of ignorant assumptions in that paragraph, good lord.

Their are other reforms in the package.

There is such a thing as Congress that can do more, and that the country has long known that tuition is increasing at double to triple baseline inflation. Maybe they can take the ball now to fix the rest of the problem.

It is called going to a community college for 2 years and then transferring to a 4 year state school.

I used to advise this, but it's a myth. Much more money, resources, and time are wasted by doing the 2 to 4 year transfer, rather than going directly to a 4 year school.

Democrats fight all the time. Fight the right and backstabbed by the left.

it can work, but it's really a narrow path of prior agreement of coordination between the two schools, and it does not work well for every major. At least picking up community college summer courses for general education requirements can shave off a semester for many. After that, it takes careful planning if it can be done at all.

Most large systems have the agreements in place as long as you stay within the system. But yeah, if you change your mind or don't follow the path you might have more trouble. This is a great example if you happen to be in Wisconsin: https://www.transferology.com/state/wisconsin.htm
