The Wall Street Journal calls Clinton’s plan an “attempt to address a source of anxiety for American families while advancing one of the left’s most sweeping new ideas.” It’s no surprise the Left did everything it could to heighten that anxiety before terrorizing people into a “solution” that would spread its sweeping ideas.

Don’t tell me what degrees you’ve earned, show me what you’ve done (and can do). No number of credentials can create jobs where opportunity and demand do not exist.
