First introduced by a Democrat senator. This is what you can expect. Democrats consistently lose the messaging war on their policies to hawks, so we get all sorts of bizarre compromises. Like Chained CPI proposals. That and sometimes it's just typical you scratch my back I scratch yours stuff.
This really sucks for newer students. We're going to give more money to private contractors like Nelnet to hopefully get better customer support or something. Suuuuure. This is a
very effective private-public partnership. :p This system is bad. Degrees are often income boosters, and beyond that, higher learning is fun. But not when you have this.
Meanwhile half of our discretionary budget is probably going towards the military. :S While the Pell Grant cap is going to be raised a bit, MUCH fewer students will have access to it.
Meanwhile countries like Germany and Sweden are offering free post-secondary education, albeit one can still take on college-related debt.
