More crazy nutty student debt...

[bluebooger]

When you say the word "poverty", I take that to mean the Federal poverty limit. 95.5% of Pell grants are given to students whose families make less than $50k. That is WELL above poverty. That's above the poverty level for a family of EIGHT. If you're talking a mom and 1 kid, she would have to make less than $15k to qualify as poverty-level, and that would certainly get a pell grant for the full amount.

...

Of course, this assumes that people will do what they can to avoid student loan debt. If they choose not to do those types of things to avoid debt, then please don't say it's because of "poverty" because most likely, it's not. It's because of choices made.

I don't understand your statement at all

I'll capitalize they key word for me
"95.5% of Pell grants are given to students whose families make LESS than $50k. That is well above poverty."

yes, 50k is well above the poverty level
but it does not say
"95.5% of Pell grants are given to students whose families MAKE $50k."
it says
"95.5% of Pell grants are given to students whose families MAKE LESS than $50k."

so that would include "a mom and 1 kid, making less than $15k"
