So Congress cut the Pell Grant program. I know it is complicated but it reminds me of a story (surprise, surprise). In 1995 I took a TWC class to visit the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, a former colleague at Austin College. A young conservative praised the conservative revolution then ongoing but asked if it were not wise for the Federal Government to provide support for students to attend college. The esteemed Majority Leader asked the cowering student a series of questions: Did you pay my way through college? Did you pay my sons way through college? Hearing no those those, he asked: Then why in the hell should I pay your way through college?
