Government Pays for Sexual Predators' College
Judicial Watch ^ | March 18, '08 | staff

Dozens of sexual predators nationwide are benefiting from a federal aid program for low-income college students and they often use the money for living expenses already being covered by taxpayers or buy stereos and television sets. Although still confined by the courts to treatment centers they qualify for Pell Grants, the federal financial program created to give the poor access to a college education. The taxpayer-funded institutions that house the offenders report that the financial aid is often used to buy clothes, stereos and music compact discs long after they DROP OUT OF COLLEGE. This has allowed some of the nation's most dangerous criminals to freely exploit valuable tax dollars. In one Florida center alone, 54 offenders got $200,000 in Pell Grants in a year. Florida Republican Congressman Ric Keller calls it the most insane waste of taxpater money and an embarrassment to use taxpayer dollars for pedophiles and rapists to take college courses while hardworking young people are flipping hamburgers to pay for college.

Why not? The Democrats are climbing over one another to hand out more benefits to the poor and downtrodden. We are well on our way to becoming a socialist welfare State.

Our government actively seeks to discourage people from working hard, practicing ethics and leading a good life. Our government actively seeks to encourage people to live like slobs, commit crime and live like parasites.
