“If the federal government were to invest $18 billion a year, with a dollar-for-dollar match from state governments, we would slash college tuition in the United States by more than half. Many of my colleagues in Washington would look at that number – $18 billion a year – and tell you that we can’t afford to make that kind of investment in our nation’s young people. To put it simply, they are wrong.” Bernie Sanders (University of Iowa speech, February 2015)
