Democrats' Best Friend: College Aid

A friend of mine recently remarked that the college affordability issue is a "gift that keeps on giving" for Democrats, and this morning's NPR story illustrates that it's a lesson not lost on the Hill (Democrats Seek to Boost Aid for College Students). College affordability is a much simpler-seeming issue than improving low-performing schools, with clearer good guys (students & parents) and bad guys (banks and colleges) much broader appeal.
