Bush Moves To Lower Welfare For College Students
Posted on June 30th, 2006
The 'Bush administration' recently passed rules designed to limit the number of welfare recipients enrolled in college programs. Officials justified the decision here.
Supporters claim that these limitations will 'encourage' more students to work.
"These regulations complete what president bush has called 'the unfinished business of welfare reform,'" Secretary Leavitt said. "We are rebooting the system to help more individuals transition from welfare dependency to work and self-sufficiency."
School officials and students feel otherwise, and for the most part want to leave the laws unchanged.
