You know something is wrong when even people on MSNBC are saying this.
The Washington Free Beacon reported:
MSNBC Host: Warren Plan Would Not Lower Cost of College
MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle said Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D., Mass.) student debt cancellation proposal “does nothing to lower the cost of college” on Monday.
Warren has received accolades and friendly media profiles for her steady release of detailed policy proposals, but conservative MSNBC contributor Noah Rothman said they weren’t getting the scrutiny they deserved.
“God bless Elizabeth Warren for coming out with a policy-oriented campaign. We get to talk about issues rather than red meat,” he said. “That’s wonderful. The problem with her big ideas is a lot of them are awful.”
Rothman criticized Warren’s universal child-care plan, for example, saying her goal of providing free care to those making 200 percent of the poverty level or capping the charge at 7 percent of a family’s come, would require capping costs in the child care industry.
“You do that one of two ways. Regulating the industry or creating some sort of a federal alternative,” he said. “I’m not sure if people are going to like dropping their kids off at federal day care.”

Comments
It’s not meant to lower the cost of college, it is meant to buy votes.
Correct. Not just the votes of the students who are the most obvious beneficiaries but also the votes of everyone working in academia, whether they be professors, administrators, or others on the payroll. What she’s she’s proposing amounts to a subsidy of the industry and everyone involved in it will benefit — while the rest of us foot the bill.
