This is what happens when you have a liberal in office. Don't expect to see any benefits if you make any sort of money. He doesn't care about people in Long Island.
Do you think conservatives care?
I don't think this should have passed to begin with
Yeah that's pretty much the point. A conservative wouldn't have passed this.
We have a failing railroad infrastructure with trains derailing every other week, yet this guy feels the need to subsidize secondary education at the expense of the people who are likely riding these failing railroads.
It's such a joke. I really wish a nice scandal would find this guy.

Free college? Cuomo budget passes
This is America and people should not go broke paying for healthcare and/or education. I cannot wrap my head around this conservative view that people who cannot afford healthcare and education should just do without it. No society is better off with its population sick and uneducated. Yet, it ironic that my conservative mom friends are the first ones to complain about a working parent sending a sick kid to school.

You live in New York, if you don't like the "liberal agenda," go live in a red state that is more to your liking.

Actually when you go county by county, most New York State counties are red counties. It's the few blue ones that pack all of the lower income people in which this liberal governor caters to that skew the state to blue.
Trump won 46 out of 62 NY counties. But go ahead and enjoy subsidizing benefits that you will never see.

Well, are those the same counties that worked with Ryan to try to shift the Medicaid burden downstate? You mean those counties that enjoy entitlements they don't have to pay for? I'm sure most of those counties will happily accept free tuition as well.
Also, I don't complain because I consider education and healthcare to be basic rights. Others don't and they will complain.

I haven't read too much into this, will it apply to any college? What happens if you have multiple children in college at the same time?
Only applies to TUITION at State schools only. I don't know how it works with multiple kids in school at the same time

My point wasn't about whether or not this bill should have passed, or whether or not I agree with it. I was strictly asking if you think conservatives care.

I see having a better educated population, that is able to get higher paying jobs and then pay more into the system (taxes) as a benefit to the State as a whole. It's more of a big picture view. I do agree that not many families on LI will be able to take advantage of this and that sucks, but there is an eventual benefit to everyone in the State, in a different way

So no CUNY?
What about SUNY community colleges and 2 year schools that offer trades (like Delhi)?

This is America and people should not go broke paying for healthcare and/or education. I cannot wrap my head around this conservative view that people who cannot afford healthcare and education should just do without it. No society is better off with its population sick and uneducated. Yet, it ironic that my conservative mom friends are the first ones to complain about a working parent sending a sick kid to school.
The problem is that most people do not need a college education. Everyone receives a free education thru high school. The money would be better spent as another poster suggested if it were put towards vocational programs.
State schools are relatively inexpensive as it is. No one is going to go broke putting themselves thru a SUNY school. If you do then you did not use your college education to get a decent job.
All this is going to do is make it extremely difficult for anyone to get into a state school and all the people that were counting on the cheaper tuition that they would have gotten at a state school will now be overburdened with the debt of a much more expensive private school or out of state school.

Let me see if I understand your thinking: you think there are certain people who shouldn't go to college and now those people who shouldn't even be in college are taking away places from people who you think should be in college? What exactly determines who should and shouldn't go to college?

That's not even close to what I said or implied. Not sure where you got that from. But YES, of course only certain people should go to college. Do you think that everyone should go to college? If my goal is to become a hair dresser or auto mechanic (not one that plans to own and operate their own business) should I go to college?

Re: Free college? Cuomo budget passes
I don't agree with this, especially the income cap.
The government gives subsidized loans based on need. SUNY cost about 8k for tuition. So anyone that is truly in need will qualify for govt subsidized loans. I'm all for everyone having access to higher education, but the purpose of that education is to open doors to employment. So why is it necessary to graduate with no loans? A graduate can get a job and pay back the loans, just like the graduates of middle class parents do. There is no reason one person should get handed a loan-free education and another have to take out loans because their parents make more. Why is there an assumption that parents are going to foot the bill for college?
I'm all for scholarships and grants...merit based rewards.

I think it will be more difficult to get into SUNY schools. For example, an excellent student who would be accepted at many universities may choose to go to a SUNY for free tuition. Whereas before this passed, that same student may have chosen to go else where since neither option was free. The marginal cost difference changed.

Free college? Cuomo budget passes
i think it's a great move for us. Dh and I make over 125k combined, but I think this is a step in the right direction.. with that said, this should really be on the politics board because some of these responses are getting a bit nuts IMO

SUNY will be damn near impossible to get into now. It's already very difficult to get into Stony Brook, for example. The middle class folks planning to send their kids to SUNY won't be able to, and will end up paying a $hit ton for private school or flying their kids back and forth out of state. I'm all for education but this really an unfair income cap, and it's not an accident. Someone has to subsidize this.

aren't there still going to be standards to get into SUNY schools. Won't the kids need certain GPA's , etc to be considered or is it just a free for all based on income? So if my DD has a 98 overall average, is an athlete, belongs to clubs, and is in honor society and for whatever reason chooses Stony Brook, she will be passed up because we make too much money to qualify for this program?

Does anyone know if attending a community college and doing well/decent still gets you transferred into a 4 year CUNY/SUNY? That was a route i always considered for DDs. Its cheaper and just in case you dont get in to the 4 year schools right away...

The admissions process should not change at all aside from there likely being more people applying or accepting. Admissions should have nothing to do with financial aid.
I think it's a step in the right direction. The brightest, most successful students should be the ones getting into these schools. How is that a bad thing? If your kid can't get into any suny and they don't want to pay for private school then they can go to community college. I don't get people complaining that there should be more support for vocational education but also that middle class kids will get pushed out of suny bc of increased competition from the brightest kids. Doesn't add up. Btw, I'm fairly certain community colleges do offer some vocational programs so students can take advantage even if they're not aiming for a 4 year degree. I read the budget also includes over $1b increase for k12 education.

I think Pell grants go to student from extremely low income families, like under 50k.
125k is not low income in upstate New York. So thiis is different in that people in the high cost of living areas of ny are going to fund education for people living in low cost of living areas who are probably living a much better lifestyle.
