College aid caught in budget gridlock - Essex Porter, KIRO

At South Puget Sound Community College they have to wait for the state budget gridlock to break before they know for sure how much state college aid they can offer to 700 summer school students. A citizen of both Britain and the USA, Chris Bloomer says England offers college students much more support. “In America, it's supposed to be the land of opportunity and there's no opportunity because you have to take these crippling student loans,” he said. http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/college-aid-caught-budget-gridlock/nmSgP/
