Obey Lies About Student Aid

Dave Obey is back to his old tricks of spreading fear for political gain. According to this story, Dave Obey told college students that the "Nasty Old Republicans" were after their student aid.

Besides the point that student aid will continue to increase under the plan, only not by as much, Obey obviously is doing a talking points tour under marching orders from Liberal San Fran Nancy Pelosi, the Democrat majority leader because he clearly didn't read the bill.

The changes to student aid changed the way it was administered. Now a school will receive federal student aid based on the number of students who actually need it rather than based on how much they got last year. That's right, UW Superior students will probably get more student aid next year because schools like Harvard will have to justify the amount of student aid they receive based on the number of students who actually need it.

Please Dave, start telling the truth.

These changes make sense and will save taxpayers money. The people of the Seventh District are tired of the same old lies you're using as a desperate ploy to hold your seat in Congress.
