If they're "...paid back over time..." why is it the democrats are wanting
to *forgive* so many of them? They came out of the taxpayers pocket. But 
what the hell! Taxpayers can afford to pat it, right?


 > Grants are gifts, never having to be paid back, by anybody.
 
*Grants* are politicians picking the taxpayer's pocket (again!) for such idiot
stuff as `global warming'! 

With this piece of shit in the White House a lot of taxpayer money went out
the window when pretty well all the so-called `green energy' outfits, 
starting with Solyndra, went down the tubes...although not without the top
people in the outfit bailing out with gold mine-type separation packages in
the millions!

From K thru 12 should be free, and without the ideology indoctrination the
liberal left imprints on it.
 
 > Nobody should have to take out loans in order to better themselves.

You're right! They either `work' their way through college (as was done in 
my parents day), or they don't go!
