They'll tout this around, saying that they helped numerous students get to college who otherwise couldn't by upping the amount given out in grants. Great, I'm all for that, I'm definitely in support of increasing the amount of grants available.

But in order to do this they cut loans, leaving a significant number of students unable to pay for college or graduate school. Obviously a bad thing. And so much for helping middle class Americans deal with the rising costs of tuition...this just doesn't make sense.

I don't think that simply switching around who gets the money helps the collective at all. It's seriously just a one in/one out type of deal.
Again, the loan business is not some great good in this country. At least read into the problems of the different types of student loans out there before you go out saying "this just doesn't make sense."
