By bundling the financial aid reform with healthcare, some of the Congressional Republicans resent the way it was handled (Staff). It seems that most people believe that financial aid should be considered individually, not grouped with another bill.

             Nearly everyone agrees that there is a need for reform, politicians, students, and educators. College tuition and related costs continue to sky rocket while other costs of living are merely inching along. Why not go with the old saying, “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today.  Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.” The higher the education an individual receives the lower the chance that they will require government assistance later in life. If giving a person help with paying for college that will in-turn help them find a career that is in demand, therefore raising the economy and lowering the demand on public assistance programs such as food stamps and childcare stipends. Supporting students by giving them the financial assistance to help them attend college makes the future more stable for the country as a whole; an individual attending college for four years only needs help for that time. If the same individual could only secure a dead end minimum wage job, the government will have to help them, possibly, for decades. I agree more with the new cap on student loans at 10 percent, and if I pay on student loans for 20 years, they are forgiven. In 20 years most college graduates will have paid more than their student loans paying state, federal, sale and home taxes. The government is just investing in the future of the students.
