“Of all the things to complain about in this bill, the Pell Grants seems to be a pretty minor issue.
At least college increases peoples earning power.—
Exactamundo! So long as “college” includes trade and vocational schools, there’s no downside.”

Maybe you two missed the part about targeting these Pell grants to “select” students? That is the key. It’s a cover for more affirmative action. Why the hell should I pay for someone elses college education?

1) Why should I have to pay for someone else’s education?

2) Why should education be so expensive?

3) Why should a college education be a right?

4) Why increase government dependency? When you do that, you enlarge the voting block for the biggest Uncle Santa on the block.

“Why the hell should I pay for someone elses college education?”
Exactly. Go to any college you choose and examine the students that are working hard to learn and make good grades. Then look at the slackers, dopers and ones doing the minimal amount of work to get by. Guess which ones are getting a free ride and which ones are paying their own way?

Don’t forget as well, that there are strings attached to this college money. Kids will be forced when accepting it, into community service to repay it. The key is what kind of service? Is this the Brown Shirt base for Obama? Methinks probably.........
