From the Senator's study of this proposal, which I have to confess, when I first saw it, I thought it was a misprint--I could not believe the administration was about to make the cost of going to college more expensive for middle-income families--is the Senator aware of the impact this alleged cost savings would have on the entire Federal budget?
