Republican Raid on Student Aid
Rep. George Miller
Hundreds of college students joined Rep. George Miller, senior Democrat on the House Education and Workforce Committee, and Rep. Chris Van Hollen at a rally to oppose a plan by Republican leaders to cut more than $14 billion in student aid. The Republican Raid on Student Aid would be the largest cuts ever to federal student aid initiatives and would saddle the typical student borrower with as much as $5,800 in additional debt.

Republicans forced their budget bill through the House in a middle-of-the-night vote. It increases the deficit, it gives tax cuts to the wealthiest people in our country, taking food from the mouths of our children by cutting food stamps and by cutting the school lunch program, cuts back on the health care for the poorest children in America, and increases the cost of student loans for America's families who are striving for a better life for the next generation. It is not a statement of the values of the American people.
