I know all of us have the best intentions when it comes to helping students afford a college education.

I know all of us have the best of intentions when it comes to helping students afford a college education.

I do want to say that a group of students from Appalachian State University just came in.

It isn't money that makes a good school. I grew up in western North Carolina in about as poor a place as there ever has been, and I say I got a really excellent education.

I find it absolutely amazing that the United States of America got to the point it got to, got through World War II and won World War II without a single federal government worker training program.

This is the time to be fortifying our local WIA youth delivery system and building on its strengths.

I don't think the federal government needs to pay to spread them around.

The president has created the greatest fiscal crisis that this country has ever seen and now suddenly you are concerned about the loan rates.

It seems to me that it is illogical that you all continue to talk about access and increasing borrowing for students.

I would also like to point out that from 2007 to 2011 the Democrats were totally in control of Congress.

It is my understanding that it was Senator Kennedy and the Senate Democrats who opposed the variable rate for student loans in 2005.
