Watch: Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders Talk College Affordability at University of New Hampshire
The Vermont senator campaigns with the Democratic nominee as she talks about free college for families earning less than $125,000.

DURHAM, NH — U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, the winner of New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary, is back in the Granite State on Sept. 28, 2016, to campaign with Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, and talk about college affordability. According to the campaign, the discussion will focus on Clinton’s plan to enable all students from families with incomes of up to $125,000 to attend an in-state public college or university tuition-free.
The campaign said her plan would cover more than 80 percent of American families. The plan, according to her website, is paid for “by limiting certain tax expenditures for high-income taxpayers.”

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget suggested in October 2015 that Clinton’s “New College Compact” would cost $35 billion a year and include $20 billion in subsidies for colleges. The plan would be financed by limiting deductions by various taxpayers in the 28 percent tax bracket (single filers earning $91,150 or more and households earning $151,201 or more in taxable income, about 7.5 million taxpayers in the United States, according to the Tax Foundation) to $405 billion annually.
