Freeeee!

Oh, goody, goody, goody, more free stuff. Who doesn't like free stuff? "Free," as in "free for me" because you're paying for it:

President Barack Obama will need the approval of Congress to realize his proposal for making two years of community college free for students.

So far, that plan doesn’t have an official price tag — other than “significant,” according to White House officials. If all 50 states participate, the proposal could benefit 9 million students each year and save students an average of $3,800 in tuition, the White House said.


Well, gee, "no official price tag," but a little simple math should give us a rough idea. 9 million students mutiplird by $3,800 gives us $34.2 billion a year. Well, hey, we're already borrowing 40 cents of every federal dollar we spend, so what the hell. Honestly, his commitment to progressive, redistributionist statism is just breathtaking.
