this guy wants to destroy the pell grants. that's his real position. >> yeah. >> this is now just repositioning -- >> you think he wants to eliminate pell grants? >> no, no, but you all but eliminate it when you take that kind of a bite out of it. we're the only country making it harder for our kids to get educated. you either have good manufacturing jobs or you send a bunch of kids to college. we already lost the manufacturing jobs. you got to make it easier to go to college. this guy was saying how marvelous it was that we were going to take a big chunk out of pell grants. i don't know how he can pull this flip-flop off. >> you're convinced that president obama will dominate in this demographic? >> there's no doubt about that. i hope the president and the d.c. democrats understand that taking young people's vote for granted and not doing all we can -- we should have had a jobs program for young people all across the country. you got young people that are desperate to work. they are coming home from wars and graduating from c

oh, pell no. ♪ >> now, there's some in congress who disagree.the interest rate low isn't the way to help our students. they say we should be doing everything we can to pay down the nation wall debt. well, so long as it doesn't include taxing billionaires. but their position, is that students just have to make this rate increase work. frankly, i don't buy it. >> jimmy: the barackness monster ain't buying it. we all know our legislative bodies in the house tossing and turning late into the night, still, republicans disagree, and can even filibuster, but if they do, the president said they're going to feel it, buster. ♪ the gop is good at saying no, no, no ♪ ♪ they should find something new to do like tim tebow ♪ >> we keep down costs so we keep college affordable. >> jimmy: and the president knows his stuff, y'all. that's why they call him potus, which means person on top -- what is it? >> potus stands for president of the united states. ♪ he's the potus with the mostus ♪ >> keep the rates down on college loans. ♪ ♪ let's get it together and make

pell grants, reducing the pell grants. eliminating from the opportunity to get a pell grant more than one million students over the next 10 years, nearly 400,000 students would be immediately -- see a reduction in their pell grants in the year ahead and 100,000 not being able to get a pell grant at all. this is economic fairness? i don't think so this is wise economic policy? i don't think so. giving to the wealthiest 1% in this country an enormous tax break and taking it directly out of the pockets of students is bad economic policy. it's bad policy for education and it will not re-ignite the american dream but will stifle the american dream. we will not stand for that. we are rising up and saying no, no, we aren't going to do this and give to the millionaires and billionaires while taking money away from the students of america. this is an important issue. this is not only an issue of economic fairness but an issue of growing the american economy. and we know where we stand. we stand for educating the work force, so they

home of senator pell. we understood education is the key osuccess and access to education for our future and the future of young people. this is wrong, it's going to hurt families, it's going to hurt our economy. we've got to take action. i thank you again for organizing tonight's discussion. mr. courtney: i want to pick up on a couple of points but certainly the point, congress -- mr. bishop: i want to pick up on a couple of points, but especially the point congressman courtney made, students are making decisions right now, we have the obligation to give them the information they need to have in order to make an informed decision. if they're going to have a significant additional repayment burden upon graduation, that's going to affect their decisions. and if a student has excelled and worked hard and gotten into the college of his or her choice, for them to not be able to accept that offer of admission in part because we haven't given them the information that they need, that's unconscionable. it's uncon

financial aid for students over the last thirty years of thirty years of reaganomics and next year pell grants will cover less than one third of the total cost of attending a four year public university. and the paul ryan republican trickle down austerity budget takes a million more students out of the pell grant program all together and then there's health care paul ryan trickle down austerity republican budget ends medicare as we know it turns it into a voucher program stripping middle middle class senior citizens of the ability to take care of their medical costs and it cuts deep into medicaid health care for poor people taking tens of millions of poor and disabled americans out of their health insurance plan it repeals obamacare so fourteen million children and one hundred million adult americans with preexisting conditions will lose their insurance and all the savings that paul ryan gets from all of these cuts to american health americans are there is that those savings are going to be handed off to the top one percent as a three trillion dollars tax cut especially to me for the mi

one of those years, pell grants actually went down. and all 30 of those years, tuition actually went up. >> so there's no correlation between pell grants, at least, towards grants towards college education and the cost of it. >> that's exactly right, over the past three decades. >> student activists called today one-trillion-dollar day. they say this is the day that the accumulative student debt hit $1 trillion. how do you tell people how to figure out whether it is worth the debt to go to college? >> it is absolutely worth the investment to go to college. as you said, rachel, all the jobs in the future are going to college graduates. today in a tough economy, the unemployment rate for college graduates is half that of other folks. lifelong earnings are two to three times as much. and this is why it is so important that congress act now. college has to be assessable and affordable for the middle class and for those aspiring to be in the middle class. i can't tell you how many young people and families i talk to, not just in disadvantag

so while a lot of the time you might see something like that countered with an increase in pell grants that's not the case with paul ryan's world because he is the lashing away at pell grants to like i said two very different visions for the country and this is what the president made yesterday when he referred to the republican vision of social darwinism but the truth is that when it comes to helping students all parties are guilty of failure president obama has actually through the years proposed more money in these areas and two thousand and nine he proposed ten billion for community colleges in a day they only got two billion for job training in two thousand and eleven he proposed twelve billion dollars to invest into community colleges as well as five billion for infrastructure and renovations those are also parts of jobs plans that didn't get anywhere in congress or some of that bunning got thrown in with a bigger piece of legislation and eventually cut and i think that this president wants to invest more in our education and i support that but no matter how much he wants to do s

that's the largest increase for any domestic department and the budget would also set the maximum pell grant five thousand six hundred thirty five dollars which is an increase of eighty five dollars now it's not huge for students that need the support. definitely not nothing if you want to talk about community colleges particularly the president proposed eight billion dollars for the community college to career fund with a goal of training two million workers for specific jobs in specific high demand industries those are areas like health care transportation and advanced manufacturing who've got a lot of people out there to grieve but who are lacking the skills that are required for certain jobs so the system isn't working as it is so we need to rethink we need to retrain we need to be more realistic now if you want to look at the republican budget on the other hand you don't have as many exact figures but just think of it this way paul ryan is slashing non-security discretionary spending and guess what that means that means a cut to k. through twelve education funding not to mention t

the ryan budget would cut pell grants. president obama has doubled investments in pell grants. the brian budget would cut medicare severely. president obama is committed to this social safety net. it helps our senior citizens in need of nursing home care. there is a world of difference between president obama and mitt romney. mitt romney represents, truly, the 1%. and i believe the president represents the rest of us who are regular people, not great wealth, but we're hard working, play by the rules -- >> but governor we're losers, the problem is we're losers, and they want people to forget how far we have come. you're part of the obama campaign ad that just came out, really trying to remind people how far we came back in the economy to where -- let me show you the ad and let's talk about it. >> on the day barack obama took office, america had already lost 4.4 million jobs. an economic disaster, the fwhors a generation. some said america's best days were behind us. like america, he dug deep, fought back, and every lost faith in our possibility to meet the challenge. instead of

maybe applying for scholarships or seeing if he can qualify for the pell grant. but under no circumstances should someone who's already retired be borrowing to pay for their education. host: lucy is a parent in mcclain, virginia from the unserbs. good morning. caller: good morning. i appreciate you taking my call. i've been wondering. whenever the federal government gets involved with backing or paying for various goods and services, it seems to me that the costs go way up because i'm just wondering where i can go to see a graphic representation of the cost of health care, since medicare and medicaid went into effect, and also tuition because it seems to me a college or university knows that the loans are backed by the federal government they can just continue increasing their tuition. and i guess i'm curious how fair it is and a lot of these universities have billions of dollars worth of endowments and i'm just wondering, does anybody ever look into the actual reality of the cost increase and where i might be able to find information about things like that. host

what these policies have done, and you can just look at college attendants when you talk about the pell grants and the subsidized loans, they have really helped people go to school, and this is critically important. >> i'm sorry, everybody loves free money, but i think the evidence is inescapable -- >> it's not free. >> come on. >> you have to pay for it. >> it's a loan my friend. >> thank you both, we appreciate the debate, next up, big juicy apple beats all estimates and could open the door to a rally tomorrow. as always, don't forget whether it's education or otherwise, i still believe free market capitalism is the best fwoog prosperity, we're coming right back. at bank of america, we're lending an in communities across the country. fro omrevi htalielzeping t a neigbrhbooklyn..or.ho financing industries that are creating jobs in boston... providing funding for the expansion of a local business serving a diverse seattle community... and lending to ensure a north texas hospital continues to deliver quality care. because the more we can do in local neighborhoods and communities, the mor

>> well, he is also of course cutting pell grants. our school depends on pell grants for to help low income students and this is true of colleges across the country. they depend, low income students depend on pell grants to help them pay their tuition bills, and again this program is cutting them. these are the programs that help people get educated so they can get a good job. government helps give them a hand up so that they can take care of themselves. >> now, it is the church, though, helping the poor. isn't that what the church is really for, not necessarily the government because we heard an interview with congressman ryan recently and other conservatives agree, they don't want the poor to be dependent on some of these handouts. are catholic organizations perhaps shirking their own duty to help out the poor instead? >> well, the catholic church is the largest charity in the united states. it does more to reach out to help people in homeless shelters and housing, food bapg banks and soup kitchens. we're doing all we can to help th

the pell grants that have helped millions of americans earn a college education, that's named after a democratic senator. when congress cut those rates five years ago, 77 republicans in the house of representatives voted for it. along with a couple of hundred democrats. including the democrats who are here. so, this shouldn't be a partisan issue. and yet the republicans who run congress right now have not yet said whether or not they'll stop your rates from doubling. we're two months away. some have hinted that they'd only do it if we cut things like aid for low income students instead. the idea would be, all right, we'll keep interest rates low if we take away aid from other students who need it. one republican congresswoman said because, you know, i know you guys will think i'm making it up, she -- no, no, no, she said -- she had very little tolerance for people who tell me they graduate with debt because there's no reason for that. i'm just quoting here. i'm just quoting. she said, students who rack up student loan debt are just sitting on their butts having opportunity dumped in y

the number of pell grant recipients in this country.ghtly proud he made good on his commitment to pull us out of the combat mission in iraq, which was a compelling issue for young people at the time and they are also thrilled that this president has made it possible for 2.6 million young people to continue to be on the health insurance of their parents which is tremendously important in these tough economic times. >> ifill: what about those unemployment numbers. twice as many young people... >> governor romney and now alex cited a report that has some dubious statistics. i'd remind everybody that for... >> ifill: bureau of labor statistics. >> actually, the bureau of labor statistics made it abundantly clear for college graduates who are 24 years old, unemployment dropped three percentage points for young folks. so i think it's clear that we have a ways to go yet in this country and americans are still struggling through what was the greatest recession since the great depression but we all should remember where we've come from and where
