 I don't go around this country, sitting in mansions, collecting millions of dollars, hearing the woes of billionaires. There are the more important issues that I've gotta worry about. And we listen to young people, and this is what young people are telling me. They're saying, Bernie, how does it happen that we have to end up 30, 50, $80,000 in debt for the crime of trying to get a decent education? What I ask of you, what I ask of you and I ask of the American people is think outside of the box, think outside of the status quo. Take a deep breath and just ask yourself this question. Everybody here knows, everybody in America knows that in order to compete in a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world. Correct? All right. This is kind of a no-brainer, a no-brainer. To have the best educated workforce, we have got to encourage young people to get all of the education that they need. We should not be punishing people for getting an education. We should encourage people to get an education. You wanna hear crazy? Here's crazy. Talked to a young person in Iowa, went to college for two years, $60,000 in debt dropped out of school. A young woman in Burlington, Vermont, my city, her dream was to go to medical school, she accomplished that dream, now practicing primary healthcare, she is $300,000 in debt. A young dentist, young dentist in Iowa, $400,000 in debt. What, it is crazy. It is absolutely crazy. So we're gonna do two things. Number one, in the year 2016, when we talk about public education, you cannot just continue to talk about first grade through 12th grade. The world has changed. First grade through 12th grade was a great idea 50 years ago. You had a high school degree 50 years ago, you can go out and earn a good living. That world has changed. So when I talk about public education today, it must mean free tuition at public colleges and universities. Some people say, oh, this is a radical, radical idea. It is not a radical idea. It is not a radical idea. I mean, right now, tuition, college education in Germany, Scandinavia, is free. All right, and it's free because they understand that the future of their countries depend on young people getting the best education that they can. This is not a radical idea. In fact, I'll tell you this. Some of you may not know this. 50 or 60 years ago, you could go to major and excellent public colleges and universities in America, virtually tuition free. That was America back then. If we could do it 60 years ago, we damn well can do it today.
