Former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, who wants the Democratic nomination for president, has announced that he has a debt-free college plan. Inside Higher Ed has the story here.

Of course, it will all be paid for by increasing taxes on “the rich.” Spending more so that we can process kids through college for free is obviously more important than any use those awful rich people might have for their money.

If we actually get a competitive race among the Democrats, I expect they’ll try to outbid each other in pandering to students.
