I don't see it as an either/or decision. The government ought not to be in the business of offering grants for college, but I also consider it wrong to take money that was immoraly confiscated.
It seems we agree on the immoral nature of the Pell Grant though.

Maybe not, but how would you expect to gain momentum regarding the shrinking of government intervention in any market place? If we are to actually shrink the government largesse, we must convince the people one step at a time. An outright finger point while calling them immoral is no way to start the educational dialogue. One lesson at a time, then we can move to the next lesson.
