Free college? That’s crazy talk.

That’s how President Obama’s idea to make community college free was greeted by many last week. It’s too costly, some Republicans said. It’s an undeserved handout. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Even some supporters described it as a “moonshot ” (by which they meant Congress will never approve it, but also that Obama has launched himself into space with this one).
