It's possible that College for All was a bad bill overall but happened to have a few good parts.
e.g. CANCELS $1.6 TRILLION IN STUDENT DEBT FOR 45 MILLION AMERICANS
The fact sheet says it would pay for all of this (in total $2.2 trillion) by taxing Wall Street speculation. So, somehow create a tax that represents almost 10% of total US GDP to cancel student debt and allow all future college to be almost free.
I can't imagine any world where that would actually happen. Bernie is living in the clouds.
This isn't giving anyone a fighting chance because it's not an actual, feasible solution.
