I think it is a way of ensuring that the assistance is available, but ensuring that any, if we want to say, profit or excess funds that are generated by it are put back into investing in the students.
Platts advocates for reinvesting excess funds from loan programs into student support.

I think the American taxpayers have a right to know which States are doing it well and which States are not.
I do not support vouchers that take money out of the public school system, first of all because we promised 40 percent of special ed, 1975, and we are funding less than 20 percent of that commitment.
Congress, we are not going to let Medicare provider reimbursements drop 25 percent or more now, or I would contend, ever, because of what it would mean to seniors getting access.
I won't be in this chair a year from now or 2 years from now, where hopefully all of this is more fulfilled.
