    Question Is a better-educated America a stronger America?



    The Congressional Budget Office projects a $7.7 billion surplus in funding for the federal Pell grant program this year, which means the government may have enough money to offer low-income students more financial aid.

    Students have feared that the Republican-controlled Congress would shoot down any plans that called for the government to spend more money on the $30 billion program.

    But now that the program is running a surplus, lawmakers may feel more at ease with an expansion.

    Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have expressed interest in restoring year-round Pell. Indeed, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Education Committee, told The Washington Post that the restoration was a top legislative priority.

    Investing in America's youth only makes sense.
    Republicans are generally against all grant money not to mention good sense.

    I'm sure nothing will happen, since the black president is in favor of it.

    I'll be darned. I earn more than a Physical Therapist does.

    I didn't know that. I thought PT's earned well over six figures.

    I wish you wouldn't call him that. Turtles have done nothing to deserve being compared to him.

    I can't help it. When I look at him, all I see is a turtle, and it makes me laugh.

    How 'bout trying NOT to make your usual dumb fuck bitch comments that you do with every post you make?

    Then your tub-O-lard body can rest on the couch and you can finish up those Bon-Bon's, you fat pig.

    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
