Investing in education isn't a bad thing. I know there are some militant neo-cons here, but the government is using a handout to give the lowest percentage point for a loan you can get, and good on them. Sure there is waste, and people default on the loan, but so what? In the grand scheme there are a lot bigger things for people to get all riled up over.

This. We're far behind many first world nations when it comes to education today. Trying to help our population become more educated is not a bad thing.
