RUSH: The liberal governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, the son of Mario the Pious, is offering a pious new program. He’s giving “free” tuition to state university students. Of course, it’s not free. Taxpayers are paying for it, as always.
There’s a hitch though. The students must be New York residents for at least a year prior to enrolling. Plus, for every year students take the money, they must stay a year in New York after graduating. If they don’t, the free money will be converted to loans, which they will have to pay back. Cuomo says this will ensure that out-of-state freeloaders don’t take advantage of all the goodies.
But a bigger issue is staring these liberals right in the face. Isn’t it discriminatory, and maybe even xenophobic, to demand people prove they’re legal residents? What about those living in the shadows? What about the illegal residents of New York? How will they get their freebies?
And how can it be that students need ID to get free college money while liberals argue they don’t need ID to vote? Hmmm? Anybody want to try answering these questions?
