When you fail to study before exams...

... You just made an argument for getting rid of the Pell Grant. It would lead to better tracking and more accountability. It would also mean that, since the federal government is holding the purse strings, it can put constraints on prices as it does with Medicare.

I also think it is partly an argument for going to free (or at least capped tuition) public 4-year college. It does fall a bit short to get students through two years, then suddenly raise the price to astronomical. Like Obamacare, these compromise measures can be very frustrating. I hate that we didn't go all the way to public healthcare. This in between state, where private companies get to profit on a mandate to purchase insurance, plain sucks...except that having millions with no real access to healthcare is even worse.
