well, you can latch onto 'aahhh, it's education' or you can read and understand the article, and the fact that it only addresses pell grants, which is only one way to fund higher education. and yes, there are other budgetary items that can and should be cut. this is a good plan on his part. sorry you can't see that. it's a start, and one of many needed steps.


now, since you agree there must be cuts, surely you understand they might not all be palatable?


did you notice the highlighted areas? paying out all year didn't produce faster graduation rates, and wasn't worth the cost. it makes sense to cut this.
