I graduated from college after 7 years without a dime of debt. I worked my way through school. Any student who wants to go to college in this country can graduate from college without a dime of debt. We have all kinds of choices in this country as to where to go to college. If people want a college degree, they can do it. What we are doing, by decreasing, by the sham, it is nothing but a sham, and I think people have to say that over and over again. My opponents simply cannot deny the facts, they cannot deny the numbers. How we have increased the Pell Grants, they can't deny, and how they did nothing to increase the Pell Grants. But they cannot deny the facts. They can give your opinions, but they cannot deny the facts.
