Why the hell are we INCREASING spending on something as WASTEFUL as Pell Grants.

We have more than enough students in colleges today as it is. If anything, we should simply ELIMINATE the program. That is what the Tea Party was sent to DC to do.

We all know how Pell Grants are distributed - - particularly since the Obozo Admn. is now administering the “student loan” program as provided for in Obama Care.

When someone goes to college on their own dime, or has to work for the money to pay their way, they not only tend to work harder at their studies, but try to get the most for their money.

But that's fertile soil for conservatism to plant its seed.

That surely isn't what the Administration, nor the Democrats, nor most of the Socialists in Higher Education want, they're after a steady flow of overeducated 'studies' majors who understand little but can recite the party line chapter and worse.
