Ten seconds into his speech, Bush claims for about the fifth time he's going to increase Pell grants when he's frozen them and reduced them every year he's been in office:
College students in virtually every state will be required to shoulder more of the cost of their education under new federal rules that govern most of the nation's financial aid.
Because of the changes, which take effect next fall and are expected to save the government $300 million in the 2005-6 academic year, at least 1.3 million students will receive smaller Pell Grants, the nation's primary scholarship for those of low income, according to two analyses of the new rules.
He's just so full of himself. He's going to do it all, AND with no new taxes. Plus, the rising deficit will be cut in half by 2009 (when he's out of office and when it's not, it's the next person's fault.)
