A Punishing Blow to Students by OUR Congressman Chris Smith

Students will have to pay interest on loans while still in school.  Our Congressman, Chris Smith, served a Punishing Blow to Students.  Yesterday Congressman Chris Smith, your Congressman, voted YES on the Ryan budget. The budget Smith voted on would reduce grants for Pell by $90 billion.  University students would start being charged interest on their loans while still in school.  http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/04/02/us/politics/paul-ryan-budget.html?referrer  .   Smith also refused to address interest rates for student debt.     = Local Government is Government.  You control your destiny by voting in LOCAL Elections and voting for Congressman that share your values and struggles. Congressman Smith is up for re-election in November.  Get out and VOTE.
