Department of Education to tighten Pell Grant eligibility


(CNN) -- A change in eligibility for Pell Grants to be announced Thursday by the Department of Education would cut some 90,000 students from the rolls of recipients and affect more than 1 million others, an education advocate says.

In addition to those who will lose their grants completely, "we estimate about 1.3 million students will see reductions in their grants from $100 to $300 per year," said Terry Hartle, senior vice president of the American Council on Education, a trade association representing 2,000 public and private colleges and universities.

1. I actually haven't heard any bushies make that claim.

Most of the ones I know don't give a damn.

3. bush just did

2. You can give a "brazillion" people a paltry sum, and then claim

that you are giving out MORE grants. But they are meaningless, when the cost of education is going through the roof, with no end in sight. The reality is that college is becoming less and less affordable, and BushCo is a big part of the problem.

4. how many is a "brazilian"?

7. We'll have to ask Rummy, like the Monkey did!!!!

For those unaware of the joke:

Donald Rumsfeld is briefing president Bush: “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed.”

“Oh no!” exclaims the president, “that’s terrible!”

His staff is stunned at this unprecedented display of emotion, watching as Bush sits, tearful, head in hands.

Finally, he looks up and asks, “How many is a brazillion?”

5. "more is less"

"up is down"

"right is wrong"

[elehhhhna]

6. It's true. They reduced the amount per grany drastically & gave out more

of them. 2K could be one grant or 4 $500 grants.

VOODOO ECONOMICS

8. They put the lie to this when the idiot* was at Kstate

He was asked then about grants and didn't have a fucking clue that grants had been cut. You'de think the fucker would have at least attempted to bone up on this.
