Democrats looking out for the college student

Democrats are looking out for the college student. Everyone knows what the problem is. One college by the time I have kids that are ready to go the college that will have to pay more that $100,000 to go to school. Many working class families and work poor families are going to lose the change to work there way out of poverty. We all know that someone who has a college degree will have a better change of living a good middle class life. That will be less likely to get involved in crime and that will help keep to U.S. economy strong. During the six year that Bush had the congress he did little to help the college student. Bush tried to cut americorps program that give money to student for school if that did so many hours of volunteer work. I as sure you are thinking how can go to sleep at night.

Over the last year and a half Democrats have been working hard to help college student. On 1/17/07 Democrats in the U.S. house passed the The College Student Relief Act of 2007. This law would cut interest rates in half for undergraduate students with subsidized student loans -- those most in financial need -- over the next five years at no new cost to taxpayers. Also it would increasing efficiency in the student loan programs and redirecting all savings directly back into the hands of students. Democrats got Bush to sign The College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007. This law will Cut interest rates in half on subsidized student loans over the next four years, increase the maximum Pell Grant scholarship to $5400 over the next five years, Expanding eligibility through needs analysis to include and serve more students with financial need, provid upfront tuition assistance to qualified undergraduate students who commit to teaching in public schools, and provide Historically Black Colleges and Universities with $510 million over five years. This was last year.

This year Dems in the house passed the College Opportunity and Affordability Act. This bill would Encourage colleges to rein in price increases and provide consumers with helpful information, it would Restore integrity and accountability to the student loan programs, Simplify the federal student aid application process and make text more cheaper. Also Democrats got Bush to sign Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008 this will Reduce borrowers’ reliance on costlier private college loans and encourage responsible borrowing, Give parent borrowers more time to begin paying off their federal PLUS college loans, and help struggling families pay for college. Democrats have been busy doing what I need for the college student Bush with his party in control of congress did not do this much for students.
