Published | Video Starts at 17:04

We need a movement that says in a highly competitive global economy, that all of our people who have the ability and the qualifications will be able to get a college education regardless of the income of their families. I have introduced legislation that makes every public college and university in America tuition free. Secondly, it substantially lowers interest rates on student debt. And we pay for that by imposing a Wall street speculation tax. When Wall street collapsed because of their greed, the American people bailed them out. (17:04–17:11)
