GOP attacks student aid

Elitist asholes.

Does federal college aid really help or is it just capitalized into higher tuitions?

By Jared Bernstein, On The Economy

There’s a conservative talking point that opposes federal aid for college because, they claim, the aid just gets absorbed into higher tuitions.
