"On education, while Bush calls for reauthorization and expansion of the No Child Left Behind Law, his budget falls $14.8 billion short of fully funding the program next year -- forcing states to make up the difference in order to meet the federal education mandate. Though the president has asked to raise the maximum Pell Grants from $4,050 to $5,400 to help low-income students afford college, he would pay for the increase by phasing out low-interest federal Perkins college loans."

 * Summary:** "The good news is that Congress has increased the opportunities for Americans to obtain student loans. The bad news is those loans will be more expensive. Despite rising tuition costs and mounting student debt, Congress has voted to raise interest rates on federal student loans at a time when many are struggling to pat off their debt. Even some members of Congress who earn $165,200 a year are still paying off student loans." **//(Gannett News Service)//** This article discusses the rising interest rate for student loans."


 * 3-2-1 on our budget system** :


 * 3** things that I discovered was that the president's budget system is tilting to much to war, meaning that many democrats agree that the president is spending to much money on thewar in Iraq. I also discovered that the tax cuts that president Bush is presenting is going to affect many teenagers planning on going to college since there is goin to be less financial aid due to tax cuts.Lastly I discoverd that our total budget is $2.9 trillion.


 * 2** things I found interesting were that since I am going to be going to college I would like to know how much money the government would be able to give me for college. I also found interesting that a priority was national security since I thought that our nation is safer now than it was in the previous years.


 * 1** thing that I still want to know about this is how much of this budget is actually going to education.
