However, the idea and its $60 billion federal price tag over 10 years would have to make the grade with a Republican Congress that is showing little appetite for big new spending programs. Obama, who plans to push the issue in his Jan. 20 State of the Union address, argued that providing educational oppor- tunity and creating a more skilled U.S. workforce shouldn’t be a par- tisan issue. “Community college should be free for those willing to work for it because, in America, a quality edu- cation should not be a privilege that is reserved for a few,” he said in a speech at Pellissippi State Commu- nity College. He said a high school diploma is no longer enough for American workers to compete in the global economy and that a col- lege degree is “the surest ticket to the middle class.” The White House estimated that 9 million students could eventually participate and save an average of $3,800 in tuition per year if they at- tend fulltime. Students would qual- ify if they attend at least halftime, maintain a 2.5 grade point average and make progress toward complet- Participating schools would have to meet certain requirements. The White House said the fed- eral government would pick up 75 quarter would come from states that opt into the program — a cost of $20 billion over 10 years. Spokes- man Eric Schultz said Obama will propose new programs to pay for the federal portion in his budget next month. Obama is calling the idea Ameri- ca’s College Promise, modeled after Tennessee Promise, which Republi- can Gov. Bill Haslam signed into law last year to provide free com- munity and technical college tuition for two years. It has drawn 58,000 applicants, almost 90 percent of the state’s high school seniors. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former White House chief of staff, has a similar program for students in his city. “If a state with Republican lead- ership is doing this and a city with Democratic leadership is doing this, how about we all do it,” Obama said. Obama brought Tennessee’s two Republican senators, Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander, with him on Air Force One for the event. But both said they thought states, not the federal government, should fol- low Tennessee’s lead. “Creating a federal program to me is not the way to get good things to happen in education,” Alexander, a former education secretary who is set to take over the Senate committee that oversees education, said Washington’s role should be to reduce paperwork for student aid applications. Obama said he agrees and wants to see that happen this year. —— Education Writer Kimberly . Corrections The works hard to be accurate and sin- cerely regrets any errors.
