Raising Standards

President Bush recently announced that he intends to increase Pell Grants by $400. "Students can use it to buy a semester's worth of textbooks, or they can drive our nation's economic engine and buy an iPod," said the President. "I hear those things are pretty cool." The president plans to fund this new initiative through another tax cut for the wealthy, stating that students who receive Pell Grants should be able to work out the math by the time they graduate.
