President Bush Does Not Value Federal Support for College Education
Thursday, April 7th, 2005I got a notice in the mail that I had forgotten to pay one of my University loans and that I was delinquent. Woops! So I went to the website to see why my autopayments had stopped. While I was there I discovered that President Bush’s current budget asks to eliminate the Perkins Loan altogether. The fact that the Perkins Loan was one of the core loans that I received to fund my college education, makes this is a pretty big deal to me.
President Bush seems to have his priorities in all the wrong places. Perhaps once the administration rids us of the Perkins Loan, most of those people that can’t attend college can join the military to bring democracy to other countries. Maybe after that, they’ll get federal support for their education.
Please show your support for federal loans for higher education, and try to save the Perkins loan. Here is the web page that I read asking to save the Perkins loan.
