Amirah Badriah Mohd Azhar Political Science 1 Professor Anderson June 16, 2016 Paper Assignment: Bernie Sanders on Free College Education in the United States The Senator from Vermont that nobody knew about prior to the presidential race, Bernie Sanders, has come a long way to the surprise of most of the American public. Nobody could foresee the immense support he will gain especially from the younger generation who are the major force behind his campaigns and rallies.

Free community college for the first two years around the whole country many would either like this idea or dislike it. This idea was brought by President Barack Obama but some students from Rio Hondo College are disagreeing with his idea. Some think this isn’t a very good idea because there are some people who can afford paying for it and those who get low income get help which is practically free for them already. As in others think that it should be free which would allow students that want to go to college but they don’t receive enough funds to be able to go which ends up causing them to just work and not go to college due to low income.

In my opinion, the American voice means that we as Americans have the right…
