If there were ever a successful program in getting children ready to learn it is Head Start. Why over the next 5 years we would want to actually cut that program escapes me. Then we look at the other end of the educational spectrum, Pell grants, these cuts would require that 316,000 fewer students receive Pell grants. ... it is vitally important that we provide a higher education and some training, and yet again the Republican budget cuts 316,000 students out of the opportunity to go to college.
