In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Is A HARD SELL To Millennials [View all]Sancho
(9,072 posts)After looking carefully, asking questions, and involving experts...we determined that Bernie's "tuition plan" would not do:
1.) was very harmful to the public employee retirement funds for most states that were negotiated by unions in many cases
2.) did not address tuition equity or admissions policies that were harmful to minorities and immigrants
3.) was not realistic with regards to most state education budget processes
4.) was particularly harmful to HBCUs
5.) transferred money to the already wealthy instead of supporting those who needed support
We reached the conclusion many months ago (before O'Malley dropped out) that Bernie's plan was the worst. In fact, we ranked him 3rd as a candidate. No wonder that a few months later educator unions endorsed Hillary.
