“Let me test your liberalism,” Maher said to the ‘Real Time’ panel. “If you have a bachelor degree you on average earn 65% more than someone who doesn’t have one. If you have a master’s degree, 100% more over the course of your lifetime. So nothing is free like a free lunch. Nope. Neither is college. Somebody will be paying for this free college and it will be taxpayers.”

“So are we really saying that someone who didn’t go to college should be subsidizing the people who went and got the benefit of going to college and made more money? Is that really a liberal thing?” Maher asked.
