Republican Rep. Mike Rogers was bragging in his email newsletter earlier this week about a grant he secured for Michigan State University. But now does he really feel about the students at Sparty's school?
A couple recent posts on Blogging for Michigan and Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood make it crystal clear.
First, Blogging for Michigan (via Michigan Liberal) tells us that Michigan State has increased its tuition 9.6 percent for next year.
Then, over at Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, the folks tell us that Mr. Rogers voted against an increase in the maximum Pell grant for needy students and a 50 percent cut in the interest rate students pay on college loans.
So given "A," wouldn't it be logical (not to mention compassionate, fair, and sound planning for the future) that Rogers would vote for "B" since Michigan State is in his district?
Is it any wonder Republicans are losing the youth vote big time?
