#1 Ahh.. When you apply for student aid the amount of money saved is factored in a NEGATIVE manner.

This 5k plus earnings will just be subtracted out of everybody's bill.

Also, considering that college has increased in cost at 10 times the rate of inflation over 30 years a $50K small state university bill today with be $500K when a baby today reaches college (it's a curve so I expect greater then 10x more than inflation factor)

$5K/$500K is meaningless!

#2 Ahem. I meant this could work INSTEAD of Social Security, not in ADDITION. You do not budget too well. 401K's for everybody. Not just you rich arrogant people up there on the hill.

#3 Hey Bill, what other baubbles can we throw the voters to try to get their votes and make them love me. What, who will pay for it you say? Well, the little people of course--just keep it quiet. Sshhh, we can still fool some of the people all of the time. They are called democratic party.

#4 We already have a federal college fund. It's called the GI Bill.

Let's cut out the competition. If they want the money that badly, they can do like all other generations since WWII and put something else on the line too.

Just another bit of spite from Hillary in her disgust of any military.

#5 You know what program I'd like to see, Bill? The "Fat Girls Showing Up At My House To Blow Me And I Suffer No Consequences When I'm Caught" program.
Ask Hillary how much she thinks that one would cost...

#6 It ain't your Granpa's GI Bill, so don't rely on it to pay your way through college.

ps There's no more 52/20 Club either.

#7 "Before we can issue the check, we'll need to scan your child's rfid chip into the system. She doesn't have one? Don't worry, it just takes a few seconds and it's absolutely free!"

#8 Hey, I made it to college at 17 and the wife at 16. Hillary must not like jump starters.

#9 You're right NS, its not your granddaddy's GI bill. Currently an enlistee can get up to 72K. I guess if you want to go to Harvard or Yale, that might be a crimp. If you're going to many state or community colleges, I doubt its a problem. And don't mention living expenses when the HillaryPlan(tm) doesn't either.
