In reply to the discussion: Sanders not ready to endorse Clinton: 'Stand up, be bolder' [View all]

(56,929 posts)135. Firstly, it deals with education at all levels
from early childhood to higher ed, not just subsidizing higher ed in ways that most benefit the upper-middle class.
It tackles the disparity in k-12 that ensures generations of Americans are unprepared for higher ed. Without that, any claims for addressing inequality are meaningless because poverty is ensured at the early childhood and K-12 stage.

In her college plan, students are expected to contribute to their own education by working 10 hours a week. Segments of the upper-middle class may find that expectation unacceptable and believe their children's education should be subsidized by the pension and retirement funds of the working class. Clinton's plan doesn't accommodate that upward redistribution of income. It instead links federal contributions to a family's ability to pay, a sliding fee scale.

Bold is meaningless. The goal is to be smarter. Trump is bold too. How's that working?
