Title: Free College (Not)
Topic: Free College (Not)

Discussed by Rebecca Coffman
with Generation Opportunity www.GenerationOpportunity.org

What is going on with America? How did we get from JFK to Obama? JFK said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” Obama says, “Free cell phones! Free food! Free welfare! Free college!”

Rebecca Coffman says that her generation – the younger generation – is fed up. They are tired of being fed lie after lie after lie. They are waking up to the fact that government is not their friend; it is their enemy.

Rebecca and her colleagues (and many others) are calling Obama’s free college tuition plan the “K-14 Plan”. It is simply another attempt for the government to keep control of our kids and indoctrinate them even longer. The taxpayers will, once again, bear the brunt of this madness, to the tune of $60 Billion (which is just the initial estimated figure).

Rebecca Coffman is one smart cookie. She definitely has a strong head on her shoulders. She, like so many other millennials, know that this new plan of Obama’s will only hurt them further. Listen in as she explains the President’s plan and what the future holds. Log on to www.GenerationOpportunity.org for more on this and other issues.
