Barack Obama State of the Union (Jan 12th 2016) as quoted Whitehouse.gov State of the Union (Jan 12th 2016)
“
No hardworking student should be stuck in the red. We’ve already reduced student loan payments to 10 percent of a borrower’s income. And that's good. But now, we’ve actually got to cut the cost of college. (Applause.) Providing two years of community college at no cost for every responsible student is one of the best ways to do that, and I’m going to keep fighting to get that started this year.
