Bush simply looking for more WAR MONEY!
Technicality may end student program
"It was just a computer glitch on a federal government website. But it could force the closing of an award-winning program that has helped thousands of low-income students of this working-class city enter some of the nation's most elite universities.
The Bush administration is using the error as a pretext to dismantle a program started during President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty.
The rejection of the applications reflects an effort by the department in recent years to cut some $450 million designated by the federal government for programs to help low-income students get into college.
Hamilton Rodriguez, a 16-year-old who dropped out of high school this year, said he did not know what he would do without the program:
"I want to try to be somebody. This would be a really bad idea to cancel this. We'd be doing nothing."
The Army is looking pretty good now, right, kiddo?
Officials at the Department of Education did not respond to repeated calls seeking comment."
We need the money for the wars, dammit!!
