During last week’s hearings on President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, Senator Bernie Sanders asked her, “Will you work with me and others to make public colleges and universities tuition-free through federal and state efforts?”
That, of course, was an idea that he and Hillary Clinton supported in last year’s presidential campaign—free tuition.
She replied that the idea was “interesting,” but quickly added this fact that so often eludes politicians: “Nothing in life is truly free—somebody is going to have to pay for it.” Sanders acknowledged that, then went on to say that it “takes us to another issue.” (Video and text of the exchange is available here.)
