It should not only be free for the poor or less fortunate in society but practically everyone. The idea, as brought out by Bernie, is very logical as he further explains that this would be the best way to combat economic and political challenges that the country faces (Sanders, 2015). He states that to attain full prosperity, then full participation would be necessary. Furthermore, he supports his reasoning with the fact that it has become harder for Americans to afford a decent lifestyle with one breadwinner in the family as it used to be in the 1960s.
