2. You've got it wrong.

DEBT-free

'Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley on Wednesday put forward an ambitious five-year goal of allowing students to graduate debt-free from public colleges and universities across the country.

O’Malley, who detailed his plan during a morning event in New Hampshire, called on states to freeze tuition rates at public colleges and universities -- as Maryland did for four years -- and proposed other measures that would help those carrying debt.

Under O’Malley’s plan, students and parents would be able to refinance their debt at lower interest rates. And O’Malley would base the repayment terms for student borrowers on their income upon graduation.

For the long term, O’Malley said he would set a goal of limiting college tuition to 10 percent of a state’s median income at four-year institutions and 5 percent at two-year institutions. Federal matching grants would help states that participate in reaching the goal.'

3. OK Thank you

I did not know that MO had done that in Maryland, and I gladly stand corrected on that.

I'm still 100% for Sanders, for other reasons, but this did register with me, for future
reference.
