“Simply stated, it is NOT the role of financial aid nor the role of the government to repackage a welfare assistance into the form of education funding.”

Hey, that’s how my parents went to college. It was called the GI Bill. (Too many unemployed veterans walking around the streets with guns and time on their hands is a dangerous thing!)

And the reason they do it is obvious - it is CHEAPER for government to try to ensure an educated workforce than to provide direct assistance, and it is actually a form of welfare to large corporations, which would otherwise have to foot the worker training bill.
