“I think one thing that is very sad though, as the gentleman went down one of those charts that shows who was getting the tax cuts, it says there the tax cuts go to the wealthiest Americans. One of the interesting things about that is that when you look at the folks who are not making a lot of money, some of them may have gotten $300, some may have gotten $400. But when you look at the reduction of services, say, for example, in my State of Maryland, tuition has gone up 10 or 20 percent for college kids and Pell grants have leveled off, I think in part because of our money problems. Well, if a family got $300, say they got $400, the rise in tuition which they must pay if they are going to keep their kids in college, that wiped that out right there. That does not even go on to include all the other things that they will now have to pay for.”
