“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, theres 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.
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.........
