Only a liberal senator from Massachusetts would say that a 49 percent increase in funding for education was not enough.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We can't afford not to fully fund education.
I am disappointed that Senator Ayotte has voted repeatedly for deep cuts in Pell Grants that would make college more expensive for thousands of New Hampshire students and voted against allowing young people to refinance their student loans.
We are told there is not enough money for education, but somehow there is enough money for people to raise billions of dollars to defeat somebody in an election? Oh! Okay! Does that make sense?

Any education that matters is liberal. All the saving truths, all the healing graces that distinguish a good education from a bad one or a full education from a half empty one are contained in that word.
We need to increase education budgets.
Education is largely run at the state level.
Even in a time of fiscal austerity, education is more than just an expense.
The new rule of thumb is that 80% of a president's time must be spent in raising funds for their schools.
