Mr. President,
Investing in education is not "wasteful government spending" but is a necessary government responsibility. What better way to promote jobs than to invest in human capital and improve the quality of our workforce, a necessary step to keep up with the developing economies of China, India, Brazil, Russia, etc. And this is just not an economic argument, but also a social justice plea, ensuring that all Americans, not just the rich, can afford to go to college without building up nearly insurmountable mountains of debt. Education is not the issue to capitulate on, and for the sake of not only our economic future but also our democracy, please protect Pell Grants.
Sincerely,
The Public's Interest
If education is important to you, consider signing the petition at change.org, and write your own personal letter to our President and your representatives.
Thank you for your time.
