Mark Souder: “I think that they initially found 44, and now they found 140 allegedly under 'Democratic fundraisers.'”

The proposal to end the FFEL program and replace it with direct federal student lending will have negative consequences on students, it is fiscal madness and the alleged financial benefits to the federal government are likely illusionary.

If there is a single republican who will take the word of the other party that says when there is a public and private offered that the intent isn't to drive out the private, look at this example, 74 percent of colleges chose the private.

The law of unintended consequences has led to outcomes far different than intended as Federal Student Assistance has expanded over time.

The proposal to sharply expand the Pell Grant Program and make it an entitlement is likewise fiscally irresponsible and potentially might add to already inflated college costs.
