An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. This seems to shadow the idea of Obama’s community proposal to provide two free years of community college. He predicts that this sixty-million-dollar plan would effect around nine million students in many great ways. Some of these ways would be helping many students get a college degree, have a better success rate, and a better job. But, is this plan too good to be true? I believe so due to the negative effects it has on people, economy, students, and the potential that this plan might not not even work.

2. How would this effect students?
3. Can this plan actually work?

Because may states don’t have the capacity such as others to provide for an increase of students in their state. If an increase of students in seen in a small state more school facilities would have to be built in order to provide for the space and keep up with enrollments. This would effect the state by having to spend money on schools and increasing people’s taxes on top off the taxes they have to charge in order to put this plan into
