Obama's plans for College Tuition

[kilanath]

I honestly think that many people need to take a course on Federal Taxation. Beyond being extremely complicated, it is informative. Many myths about who's getting a free-ride and the best tax benefits, et cetera, exist.

I have no interesting way of lowering tuition.

I receive financial aid, including loans. I personally do not pay taxes. I have no job. Without the FAFSA, I would not receive help with tuition. I have paid taxes, and currently my fiance pays taxes and works to keep my household expenses paid so that I may attend college. I'm not particularly worried about paying tuition, I'm more worried about paying back the loans. I do not expect a free-ride, and would accept the responsibility of paying back more in loans. The FAFSA is on the other hand, unnecessarily complicated.

I plan to save money for my children to be able to receive higher education.

And as for my own personal political point of view: I'm of the opinion that a good way to reduce government spending is to reduce congressional pay. Why? Because they receive quite a nice salary for doing very little.
