Well, there is a healthy part of the GOP that believes a college education is elitist, leads to liberalism; they don't necessarily see this as a bad development. cc: RadioFreeTom TheRickWilson Stonekettle

Than why doesn't Chucky support the wall He did 12 yrs. ago...Stop playing games with the American People, CHUCK...

The article doesn't support the headline. The 'online system is done for normal maintenance' request can still be made by phone or fax

I think it reflects that old song “the rich get richer and the poor get children” Ain’t we got fun? Absolutely not

jdickerson much more interesting than the speech tonight- would you be able to cover this in further detail?

Story of my life

Did anyone actually research when FARSA applications were due?

TRUMPSFAULT

Meanwhile, thousands of hungry, sick and illegal aliens are jumping the border daily grabbing millions in undeserved benefits.

You're kidding, right. Cost of a college education, and the educational system itself, has been a sham for decades. It's another fiasco created by leftist policy. Worrying about a government shutdown, not as long yet as under Billy C. is a bad joke.

Student debt is another failure of American society to look after its own citizens.

I’m old enough to remember the Mitt Romney guide to financial aid: shred your FAFSA and get a million bucks from your parents instead.

Not surprised all Trumps policies are aimed at enriching the rich.....the only surprise is the poor voting for the fool....must be down to how terrible state education is...

Trump's government shutdown could hit poorest Americans as food stamps face cutsSome Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients have already reportedly been turned away when trying to use food stamps. Keep up the fear mongering. This will not happen.... but hey, I know quite a few people on food stamps who intentionally work less hours so they still qualify for them. Maybe this will motivate some people to contribute more to society and better themselves. Because we all know how much realDonaldTrump cares about the poor. It's not a problem to run the government. The problem is to fight for border security. What will you do if the government does not control the borders?
