<p>The grants rise to match the actual costs of those who go, but increasing numbers can’t afford to go at all. THAT’S the issue. Let’s not be so quick to blame the victims, not when the nursing program at the local community college has gotten more difficult to get into than Harvard - doesn’t sound to me like poor people don’t want to attend! In other words, we may be spending the money, but failing in the mission. (hey, didn’t that happen with the war, too? oh, let’s not go there.)</p>
