In response to  Adam Severson's  "Abolish the Pell Grant and Department of Education":


While I understand the thought process of you're right-leaning opinions, I disagree with you completely. Out of all the things to make financial cut backs on and you want to make Americans LESS educated? The fact is, that many young adults are financially unqualified to attend college, and this generally condemns them to a low-paying career. What ends up happening as a result of our not paying for one's education turns into our paying for a lifetime of health insurance for the non-college goer and their presumably large family. Are you suggesting that if one is financially unstable, not cut out for the army, and does not qualify for any scholarships that they should be doomed to live a life of economic hardship along with a cloud of ignorance due to lack of education? This seems incredibly cruel to me.
