I agree

do you people not realize that there are so many things in our country that already present socialistic idea's.
Yes, agreed once again...that is part of my argument as well.

if they made those things private industries, no one could ever afford anything.
Can't agree here, with private indutries comes competition which will regulate and drive prices down, that is just the way American industry works. It's only when there is one company that provides all the services and has the monopoly a service that the price flies through the roof because they have no competition and therefore can charge what ever they want. It's supply and demand.
I happen to think his idea of 100hrs of community service for 4k of college money is an awesome idea.
Once again, not knocking this part of the idea. This was the second edition of Text Obama's site stated.
The original made no statement of tuition re-embursement.
