Obama’s plan for free college will tighten China’s grip on US

This letter is in response to two articles published in The Vindicator on Jan. 10, Page A10. The first article is “President Proposes Free College.” Free? To whom is it free? Maybe it’s free like the “Affordable Care Act.” As the second article points out, “it would cost $60 billion over 10 years. White House officials wouldn’t say where they would find the billions to pay for it.” Just like the hundreds of billions the Affordable Care Act is costing, what’s another $60 billion? China will only be too happy to pony up for more loans.

After all, they own us now anyway. Forget about our grandchildren having to pay off these debts. We’re looking at our great, great grandchildren and beyond, absorbing these costs. What’s the national debt of $18 trillion mean to the socialists anyway?

If they get another progressive socialist in the presidency in the near future, they will be well on their way of attaining a “one-world government,” their ultimate goal; then kiss our great Constitution good-bye.

Think this is a joke? Read your history. Germany 1933, Russia, China, Iran, etc., But wait, how will our younger generations coming up know what came beforehand when world history is and has been removed from our schools’ curriculum? Could it be that the powerful socialists in Washington, the Department of Education, don’t want them to know what occurred in years gone by?

Nah, I must be naive to even think like that. All I can say is, “God bless America,” while I still can.
