She wants to go to college - maybe the government should have a scholarship program for unwed mothers.

Why should she have to go to college. The government should just give unwed mothers advanced degrees. Scholarships are a waste. All they learn in College is how evil and corrupt Republicans are. They can learn that just waiting in the unemployment line.

Here in Nevada the state set up the "Millenium Scholarship" a few years back which provided a free ride to either state university (UNR, UNLV) for anyone that graduated from a Nevada high school in the year 2000. Four years of tuition free just for graduating high school in the year 2000.

At first I thought the idea was crazy, thinking it would bankrupt the state and overcrowd the colleges, but a report came out a few months ago that said that only 25% of eligible recipients have taken advantage of the scholarship. If you subtract the percentage of Nevada high school graduates that would have gone on to a Nevada university regardless of the scholarship (the national average of college-educated people is 25%), then, as the saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water..."
