Kansas City has been nearly perfect over their last 11 games, earning 31 out of 33 possible points. For perspective, only one other team has accumulated 31 points over their entire season.

What does any of this have to do with the government giving disadvantaged people grants to level the playing field? If anything, the government giving grants so people donât have to take out more loans would help prove your point. If you had one, that is.

Dangit. Tried to reword the first sentence. It should say do you know what Pell grants are and how much students get? Iâll tell ya. The average is $4500 and the max is $7400 per year. Most schools apply the grant before the amt of loans so students wonât take out more than needed in loans.
jim jam (@jkv1979.bsky.social) reply parent
Your assertion that more access leads to higher prices is inaccurate as well. Education is one of those things that gets cheaper at scale. Total cost goes up but per pupil cost goes down as you add students.
jim jam (@jkv1979.bsky.social) reply parent
Do you know how much Pell grants are and how much students can get? Your two sentences statements contradict each other. You should look into the reasons a little more deeply. A decrease in public funding shifted the burden from the general public to the individual student.

Youâd have a point if everyone got the $. Did Pell Grants single handedly raise college tuition, or do they help low income students afford the already high tuition? Do food stamps/WIC increase the price of food or help poor people buy already expensive food. Rent/utility assistance?

Only ~25% of buyers would have gotten down payment assistance and they have always been competing against cash buyers/investors. And this ignores the initiatives to build more starter homes. Are you against all government grants or just this one because it wouldnât have helped you, personally?
