Well, it's not really a fact that she proposed it. She mentioned that she "liked the idea". Having done no assessment of potential cost or return you can hardly call this a "proposal".
And while I can't say I would endorse this specific proposal, I can see the logic. We have a real problem today with funding higher education, and this may cause critical economic problems in the future as we loose our leadership position to other emerging nations in many fields. You don't think the Chinese government isn't trying to create an army of engineers and scientists to bump off the US system?
I could see a grant of a US Bond to be used for education as a means to help deal with this issue. This isn't an endorsement, but the idea that someone might consider it shouldn't be construed as socialisim.
