President Obama is proposing a significant jump in education funding to pay for Pell Grants. He also wants to finance his reform for elementary and secondary schools. The House Republicans want immediate cuts in both areas. I like that President Obama does not want to cut Pell Grants. Many needy people rely on those grants for their education, and it would be sad to see that help end. I also think an 11% increase in federal education spending would be great, but doubtful it will pass. The new federal spending won't offset education cuts that will most likely happen at the state and local levels.
