Lamar Alexander actually said...

"Thank you for the Federal financial aid that has been made available to me and for the opportunity to achieve my dreams in life."

"Why is the cost of college going up? Insofar as public colleges and universities, which is where three out of four students attend, the first reason is the cost of Federal Medicaid mandates."

"I have a little different view than the chairman. Most of our Federal aid is based upon need."

"It seems to me that one of the things you need to have to be ready for college or career is financial literacy."
