I've never understoof the ReThugs distain for education. For all their chortling on & on about a global economy, you'd think they would want our future workers to be able to compete, but no, just cut the budget willy-nilly, but make sure the rich get their, frankly, undeserved tax cuts.
"In the fine print of its $39.7-billion budget-cutting plan, Congress evidently has identified academically eager teenagers as a drain on the federal purse. What else would explain such a historic cut in student aid?
According to the Congressional Budget Office, fully one-third of the projected savings in the final budget bill would come from reducing college aid. The cut, some $12.7-billion over the next five years, would represent the biggest drop in student aid since passage of the Higher Education Act in 1965."
