Andy Borowitz: President Obama’s plan to offer Americans two years of college for free has come under fire from congressional Republicans, who are calling it a blatant plot to make Americans smarter. The G.O.P., which has benefited from the support of so-called low-information voters in recent years, accused Obama of cynically trying to make people smarter as a way of chipping away at the Republican base. What if Obamas blatant plot backfires and smarter Americans begin to vote third-party? That might explain why hes only offering two free years of community college and not entirely free higher education, which some European countries with Green and other alternative parties provide (and which the US Green Party supports).
