Yo! College students! Mitt Romney wants to restrict how much education you get.
Rachel Maddow, the smartest woman on television, caught this little nugget from Romney---

...The
key phrase: Romney wants young people to "get as much education as they
can afford." That's not really the way American society is supposed to
work -- if you're a young person who's bright, works hard, and wants to
further you're education, your public leaders and public institutions
aren't supposed to say, "Sorry, you're not wealthy enough to pursue
educational opportunities."
But that's Romney's message in a nutshell. Indeed, in March, the GOP candidate explained
his intention to cut Pell Grants and encourage students who struggle
with tuition costs to "shop around" until they can find a college they
can afford.
And then, of course, there's Romney's plan for the
student-loan system, which he intends to make worse, on purpose, in
order to boost bank profits for no reason. It's arguably the most
scandalous element of Romney education agenda, and most voters probably
aren't aware of how absurd it is...
With restrictions like Romney's proposals, we (my husband and I) never would have been able to further our education.
