Department of Education to tighten Pell Grant eligibility

[Alcon]

Ford, yet again, nails it.

[Alcon]

Yet again? What other issue do you agree with Ford on?

I do not have to politically agree with someone to think that they nailed a point.

[Alcon]

Yeah, but you have to agree with him on the point you think he nailed.

I do in this case, but I don't have to. I can think he got to the core of the issue without agreeing on him about the application of that core to policy.

[Alcon]

In a society where a college degree is becoming more and more necessary, the government should ensure that everyone has financial access to college.

Or alternatively you could actually pay for the services you get... you know, pay the university fees yourself?  Society owes you nothing.

We the creation of a society where the poor do not become a permanent underclass that can never get educated.

I have no idea what you just said, and English is my fourth language.  Try again.

He is saying that under your system, the poor could never become anything but poor. They could never afford an education.
