October 25, 2011, 3:59pm (report abuse)When are we going to learn that we(taxpayers) don't have subsidize jobs. If it has value, people will pay for it. Our educational system has not been truly adding real value for many years.

October 25, 2011, 8:23pm (report abuse)Anytime I see the word "grant" I get worried...another government program creating freebees for those who are do-nots and will-nots. This is just another way to create more government jobs; we need smaller govt, not larger! CUT THE SPENDING!
