How is what Bernie proposes different from public school 'vouchers'?

[SuperDemocrat]

If we are going to have college tuition paid for by the government then why not have private high school tuition also paid for by the government. Democrats will say that is a 'voucher' system but the thing they have been railing against for years on the high school and grade school level they are now proposing for the college level. Why the difference?

Bernie has his heart in the right place, but "free college" isn't the answer. We need the government to pursue a policy of full employment.

Why don't you read the actual plan so you have some idea what you're talking about?
