Hey kids, they didn't tell you this before the election. Heh.

Sorry, college students. President Obama has cut your access to Pell Grants by 33%; he just forgot to mention it before Election Day.

Good! With a few exceptions it's an unnecessary and wasteful program.

Imagine that. Hmmmm

I am sure that this is somehow the fault of the Republican controlled house though?

I've always thought they should give Pell Loans with low interest but not Grants. Pell Grants reward bad behavior.

When my oldest was about ready to go to college she found out her parents were too rich to qualify. These things should have been history over 20 years ago.

The symbiotic relationship between .gov, the banks and the .edu industries is about as perverse as it gets.

Note that the 33% cut is from a maximum of 9 years of Pell Grants down to a maximum of 6 years.

Why would we have allowed 9 YEARS of Pell grants to somebody in the first place? Fricking stupid politicians just love spending other people's money.

It's much worse than that. The graduation rate for students on Pell Grants is very low, and they only have to payback a prorated amount when they drop a class.

,...as long as I get my 99 weeks of unemployment,..fuggit.

That's my acid test ever since they run Ron Paul off.

"How many weeks of unemployment you offerin'?

Way I figure,..as long as they're determined to crash the country, my main impetus is gettin' my meager chunk of it before the fat cats eat it up.

Some people watch such things to know what lies are being promoted by the media folks and believed by the masses.

Ah, such a friendly guy you are. No wonder why I keep you on ignore most of the time.

But if you really wanted to keep track of me, MSNBC doesn't help much. I don't appear there. Not ever.
