Many people will argue that it will make the tax payers paying much more taxes, and to some degree that is true. The interesting thing is…
the idea of community collge being free for Two Years. The article “As he promotes it, Some questions Obama’s Free Community College Idea” by Joanne Jacobs, gets the views and discusses about the idea with students and politicians.

In my Persuasive Speech on the topic of Why College Shouldn’t be Free? I felt like my overall speech was honestly pretty genuine and had a really good point of view on the topic that made it very relatable to the audience.

On the brighter side of things my better things that I did were: Being calm and collected throughout the…
In article “As He Promotes it, Some Question Obama’s Free Community College Idea”, written by Joanne Jacobs, the proposition of free community college in America is met with some reasonable hesitation. While Barack Obama plans to give out free community college, students like Felipe Bezerra do not see the reason why President Obama would do this and disagrees with Obama’s plan stating that “‘Tuition shouldn’t be free’ for those who could afford it”, And frankly I agree with him.

Some may advocate merely for free or extremely discounted community college or two-year degrees, while others may argue for full free undergraduate collegiate education.
