Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
I can't remember the numbers now, but I recently read an article and was myself shocked to realize how post high school vocational and college aid have shrunk under the auspices of the shrub administration. It was either by 25 or 50%. Either number is huge.

We think this is a thinly-disguised form of the draft--drive kids into the armed forces by taking away their college aid so they feel like they have no alternatives.

As always: A rich man's war and a poor man's fight.
