Mitt
Romney expounded on the value of education for increasing one's opportunities
in life:
I think this is a land of opportunity for every single person,
every single citizen of this great nation. And I want to make sure that we keep
America a place of opportunity, where everyone has a fair shot. They
get as much education as they can afford and with their time they’re
able to get and if they have a willingness to work hard and the right values,
they ought to be able to provide for their family and have a shot of realizing
their dreams.
It
doesn't appear that there would be much help from a Mitt-led government, since a
student's education would be capped by what "they can afford". Moreover, the policies that Mitt had
endorsed, most notably the Ryan budget, would reduce Pell grants and undo
student loan reforms, ensuring that students could count on less help from the
government in getting their degree.
Finally, Mitt's a strong supporter of for-profit educational
institutions, some of which are little more than degree mills that offer little
in the way of real education.
Mitt
Romney thinks an education
Is
the key to one's salvation
However
much you can afford,
In
life you'll get your just reward.
And
if you should run out of dough
Mom
and dad can help, you know.
There's
now no need to sit through classes
Listening
to those boring asses,
With
profit-making enterprises
Your
degree can come on-lineses.
Mitt
says this all with great conviction
But
there's a little contradiction:
with
policies that Mitt's explored
there's
less and less you can afford
