Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

The federal government should increase block grants and other spending in order to increase support for public education and to improve that education. Pell Grants and such fellowships as the National Defense Foreign Language fellowship that I received to attend Graduate school should be funded in language arts and science and engineering which are needed for the economy and defense of the country. The President's initiative to reduce the interest that students pay for loans and lengthening the time for students to pay back their loans are very positive developments. The Federal government should increase and not decrease aid to education in general.
