WASHINGTON President Joe Biden plans to create a universal pre-kindergarten program that’s free for all 3- and 4-year-olds. He also has proposed offering free community college for anyone who wants it.
The group that won’t participate for free is states. Biden’s plan to pay for these programs requires some state governments to shoulder roughly half the costs for their residents.
