Response to Obama's free community college propasal

President Barack Obama has proposed that the government pay for two years of community college tuition for every American with an interest in progressing toward a degree and sufficient academic marks (BBC.com). By making community college free we, as Americans, will have a higher percentage of an educated population. With a higher educated population our country will progress/advance forward and surpass countries like China, academically.

Free community college will also allow people to save up their money, so they can earn a degree from a state college or a UC school. This will increase the percentage of a specialized work force, which will overall help our country advance forward.

This proposal is not something that is ridiculous or far fetched, President Obama says "Its something that we can accomplish and its something that will train our workforce so we can compete with anybody in the world."
