I've always cared about education, and I worked with Senator Schumer on making several thousand dollars of college tuition tax deductible. That will help a lot of your middle class families make college more affordable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a serious concern about middle-class families being able to afford college.
Middle class families are struggling to send their sons and daughters to school. For many Americans, a college education is essential to future success.
We all have a role to play - the President, Congress, parents, students and schools - in making college affordable and keeping the middle class dream alive.
When it comes to college education, American families are paying more and getting less.
Some liberals think that describing any role that education gaps play in creating income inequality is some sort of sellout - that, in essence, you're telling the middle class, 'Tough luck; you should have stayed in college.'
I care about education for everyone, not just the elite.
College is part of the American dream. It shouldn't be part of a financial nightmare for families.
When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream more achievable.
We build schools and give government loans and grants to college kids; for those of us who are parents, tuition will often be the last big subsidy we give the children we've raised.
Like health care, education is something worth spending on and worth investing in, but we're spending more and getting less.
