And it’s supposed to cover the cost of grad school too, LOL. They need to check into the cost of a credit hour at colleges/universities so they can get a handle on reality.

I just checked. Room (only) costs $6,060 per year at Harvard. If you want to eat that costs, $4,982 more.

After they run the printing presses to bail out Wall Street, the car companies, the mortgage holders, California, New York, NYC and New Jersey, $3000 won't buy you an economics textbook at Harvard, or even a Big Mac with fries.

Yeah, $3K per year will barely pay for half a semester.

Exactly! One of the dirty secrets is that higher education has continued to skyrocket BECAUSE of government financial aid. The aid is increased....the colleges raise tuition...the students get screwed!

3,000 dollars given? I’m sure that the only way to get even THAT amount of money is to volunteer for COMPULSORY community service. Talk about slave labor!

Besides, this is just another example of Hussein’s ignorance about the economy! If kids are providing “volunteer” services, then entrepreneurs or other agencies that usually would hire these people don’t have to pay a dime. More loss of jobs, lack of productivity, and the list goes on!

Of course, socialism is Hussein’s OTHER middle name
