Reply #24: Oww. :( See that's exactly what makes me nervous about this..

[ObamaKerryDem]

..the commission. I cringed the moment the President brought that up/confirmed it in his remarks last night..

Full disclosure: I funded my entire Undergraduate education (tuition wise, at least..and even then, qualifying for a full award, I still needed loans for other associated expenses..) via Pell Grants. Even though I personally am past the stage of qualifying for them, I know that so many other students/potential students are in need of them to realize their dreams and goals and it both sickens and saddens me to know they could be denied that chance. Why, it's almost as though the GOP doesn't want an educated public...oh wait..

So "The Big three" ARE still subject to commission cuts as well? I keep hearing different things about that..

Bottom line: This could've been worse, but it could have been far better, too. I keep trying to find the silver lining and while there is some there, the risks are nauseatingly great.
