ROMNEY’S BUDGET AND THE RYAN PLAN WOULD ADOPT DEEP CUTS TO PELL GRANTS THAT HELP STUDENTS GO TO COLLEGE
 
Romney’s Plan To Adopt The GOP Budget Would Cut Funds For Pell Grants That Help Students Go To College By Nearly 25%. “The GOP budget plan that Romney wants to adopt would make steeper cuts to Head Start, Pell Grants and workforce training than to other programs. Romney would completely eliminate funding for a program backing remedial literacy in low-income schools, as well as federal assistance that helps low-income families pay their heating and cooling bills. Ultimately, as a result of such cuts — combined with the budget reductions passed on Obama’s watch — ‘157,000 at-risk children up to age 5 could lose education, health, nutrition, and other services under Head Start, while funds for Pell Grants that help students go to college would fall by nearly 25 percent,’ according to a CBPP analysis of the House GOP proposal.” [Washington Post, 11/4/11]
