Without the GI Bill to pay for my late grandfather’s trade school, he gets stuck in the mines and I’m probably on my way to becoming a fourth generation coal miner. We don’t ask for “free stuff”, man I can’t tell y’all how much I hate that phrase but we do want a floor that our parents and grandparents had. But I guess it’s easy just to look down on people when you’ve had everything handed to you like DeVos and Trump did.

My dad grew up with cardboard in his shoes, and dinner was 4 times a week.

I grew up with a swimming pool, a horse, piano lessons, summer camp and ski trips.

Free college for my dad’s generation is the entire “how’d they do that?”
