   If they're "...paid back over time..." why is it the democrats are wanting   
   to *forgive* so many of them? They came out of the taxpayers pocket. But    
   what the hell! Taxpayers can afford to pat it, right?   
      
      
    > Grants are gifts, never having to be paid back, by anybody.   
       
   *Grants* are politicians picking the taxpayer's pocket (again!) for such idiot   
   stuff as `global warming'!    
      
   With this piece of shit in the White House a lot of taxpayer money went out   
   the window when pretty well all the so-called `green energy' outfits,    
   starting with Solyndra, went down the tubes...although not without the top   
   people in the outfit bailing out with gold mine-type separation packages in   
   the millions!   
      
    > In my view, all (public) schools of higher learning should be free.   
      
   From K thru 12 should be free, and without the ideology indoctrination the   
   liberal left imprints on it.   
       
    > Nobody should have to take out loans in order to better themselves.   
      
   You're right! They either `work' their way through college (as was done in    
   my parents day), or they don't go!
