In the article, Obama's free community college plan,
published on FoxNews.com on January 9, 2015, Judah Bellin discusses the
President’s idea to provide two years of free community college to
students. Never mind the issues in the article that include, but are not
limited to, the financial burden this puts on taxpayers or the meager
qualification to participate in this proposed program; this should be a
non-issue as the federal government has NO POWER to do such. Neither the
President, nor Congress has been allotted the constitutional power to implement
such a program. If this is deemed a worthy use of taxpayer money it
should be done so by the people at the state and local level where the
democratic power of the people reigns.
In our
book, Vigilance: The Price of
Liberty, we discuss the various failed educational programs implemented by
the federal government. The blatant disregard for study and project
outcomes by the government is appalling as they are wasting taxpayer
money. Why not follow the framework put forth by our governing document,
the Constitution, and allow for the localities to decide where their money will
be spent and thus, get the biggest bang for their buck.
