Bernie Sanders On Education

are concerned about that's educate I think everybody here knows that to be educated intellectual pursuit is

part of makes us you but in addition to that we are in a highly competitive global economy

years ago in the United States thirty years ago the United States lead the world in terms of

the percentage of our people who graduated because today we are in twelve place today all over this country in

every state in the union you have young people who are saying you know yeah I'm small yeah I really would like to go to college but

I don't want to leave school sixty seventy thousand dollars in debt in an unstable economy I'm not going so

think of what that means to our country in that we are wasting the intellectual capital so

are now deeply in debt I talked to a woman in Burlington Vermont six months ago her crime was

that she went to medical school and is now practicing medicine with low income people primary have exactly

graduated medical school three hundred thousand dollars in so what we are doing in a sense is

saying to the young people of this country that we're going to do everything we can to make it is hot as possible for

you to get an education that is crazy within the next month I will introduce legislation

that will make every public college and public university tuition free nnj

people say it is not expensive the answer is yes it is expensive but it is more expensive not to do that and
