Bernie Sanders is loved – no, worshiped – by my 20-something-year-old friends. Millennials love the 74-year-old, disheveled socialist, because he’s brimming with passion and lively rhetoric. He’s also kind of cute (in a crazy uncle kind of way), and he’s promising young voters something they want: Free stuff. Most outrageously, perhaps, free college.

Bernie wants the government to pay 100 percent of every student’s tuition. It’s easy to understand the allure of his plan: Most private colleges cost over $30,000 per year, and the average graduate walks away with more than $27,000 in student debt.
