Jilly Biden

Don't worry sweety, that's
why we have tax collectors.


Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

I received a WNO SOUNDBITE ADVISORY re Jill Biden waxing eloquently about FAFSA.  I have no idea what the acronym stands for, but while finding out I ran into this site, and the above shown, crudely executed bit of  Big Education agitprop.   Yesterday I noted this lame attempt by Media Matters. It says a lot about who they see as their base audience, and what it takes to influence them.

Anyway, back to Jill Biden (I still don't know what FAFSA accomplishes, aside from spending OPM).  This is precious.

Soundbite 3: Jill Biden Discusses Her Daughter And FAFSA.

  "Our daughter is in grad school at Penn and she just got, Monday morning, we were on the phone to see if she had been accepted to get her FAFSA money otherwise it was like mom, you know, you've got to help me out with college."

  2. As far as I know, everyone is required to sign up for a FAFSA to see if they are eligible for any funding before they get student loans

    Sorry, it is early, I meant to put this in on my original post.

  4. Anyone wonder why the Aryan school is not trashed but the Jim Crow school is? Years ago the local Pravda paper ran a comic showing the suburban school looking nice and the panel next to it showed the inner city school with broken windows, no backetball net, grafitti, etc... I wrote a letter asking if the editor was implying that the kids from the suburban school trashed the inner city school. My letter was not published.

  5. FASFA is for undergraduate only and it is basically a formula derived from a person's financial statements to determine if they are eligible for any grant money or, more importantly, federally guaranteed loans to pay for college.
    My son did qualify for FASFA based loans (no interest or payment due until 6 months after graduation), but when he started grad school, he became ineligible as would Biden's daughter.
