Has been supported by the country easily. It is time now to include 4 year college in that "Free" catagory for those willing to spend the time as every part of today's economy requires higher levels of education, commitment and good inter personal skills...all enhanced by a college education.

I don't have any trouble calling it "Free" but if others have a better term that will sell the majority of Americans, I'm open to it. I'm glad there are others on DU thinking ahead so the Democrats aren't yet again behind the rhetorical 8 ball.
