Joe Biden, who had promised to devote nearly 1,800 billion dollars to social and environmental spending, had included in this unprecedented program two free years of “community college”, a very significant reform in a country where studies can be extremely expensive.
average $7,500
But the Democratic president failed to have the entire program adopted by the Senate, due to the reluctance of one elected Democrat in particular. Joe Biden promised to salvage a few snippets of his program, but therefore had to sacrifice others. “Community colleges” are public establishments offering short cycles of higher education, usually two years.

According to the specialized research company “Education Data Initiative”, in 2021 the average cost in the United States of studies in a “community college” was nearly 7,500 dollars for the two years. The bills of the most prestigious private American universities are much higher, resulting in an accumulation of student debt in the United States.
