Hillary Clinton Plan Claims 85,000 Wisconsin Students (Or Parents) Would Pay No College Tuition

WISCONSIN -- If the following is indeed true, would you vote for Hillary Clinton for President this November?

Hillary for Wisconsin announced a new "report" which finds that, under Hillary Clinton's college plan, 85,000 Wisconsin students would pay no tuition for a four-year college degree. That "report" can be found here, on Medium.com, an online blogging platform.

But here's the thing: The author of that "report" on Medium.com is listed Hillary for Ohio, putting it in the realm of campaign literature as opposed to an independent audit.

Be that as it may, here is what the Clinton campaign says about her college tuition plan:

Clinton's plan allows families with incomes up to $125,000 -- more than 89 percent of Wisconsin households -- to pay no tuition at in-state public colleges and universities.

Hillary’s plan would:

1. Eliminate college tuition for working families. Every student from a family making $85,000 a year or less will be able to go to a four-year public college or university tuition-free.
2. Help students deal with all of the costs of attending college. Hillary Clinton will protect Pell Grant funding for low- and middle-income students from working families. She will also restore year-round Pell Grant funding so that more students can take summer classes and complete college. And she’ll expand support for student- parents, including a fifteen-fold increase in federal funding for on-campus child care.
3. As President, Hillary will take immediate executive action to offer a three-month moratorium on student loan payments to all federal loan borrowers.
4. Loan-borrowers would be able to refinance their student loans at current rates, just as borrowers can refinance a car or home loan.
5. Enroll in income-based repayment. No one’s student loan bills should be more than 10% of monthly income, and college debt should be forgiven after 20 years — or after 10 years, for borrowers working in the public interest.
6. Urge employers to do their part. Hillary will create a payroll deduction portal for employers and employees that will simplify the repayment process.
7. Get relief from debt for starting a business or social enterprise.For social entrepreneurs and those starting new enterprises in distressed communities, Hillary will provide up to $17,500 in loan forgiveness.
8. Reward public service. Hillary will ensure that AmeriCorps members who complete two years of national service and a year of public service will be able to have their loans forgiven. And teachers in high-need districts or shortage subjects will get enhanced loan forgiveness.
