Pell Grants are Jokes

People who work full time, and still go to school full time get absolutely no help from anywhere. We have to actually front the money ourselves and WORK for it. However the government chooses to fund the people who live in dorms, don't work, and/or live off mommy and daddy. Here, let's help the people who mean nothing to society yet, and don't know what it's like to truly be out in the real world but we're going to make the hard-working, common sense, educated people suffer, and work harder???

Hmmmm...seems like to me the government wants to fund more and more people that don't want to achieve anything for themselves, but have everything handed to them on a silver platter. So, in my opinion, if you can clearly prove that the individual pays their own bills, the income should only be based off the individual- not the parents. I mean seriously if your still 22 and living at your parents, not working, you need a wake-up call anyway! Therefore, grants should be offered to them also, not just the ones knocked up, or married.
