US Government Cuts Grants to Jewish College, Citing Fraud

2. It seems counter productive that Pell Grants can be used for 'studying abroad'.

There is no logic in using scarce US tax dollars to prop up foreign institutions and fund their economies while our own go wanting. Pell Grants are funded by US taxpayers to fund the college education of low-income students -- and it really is pretty low -- based on financial need. I'm thinking US tax dollars should first go to good US schools to support local campuses, the workers and stimulate their communities, while providing students the opportunity to get a quality education that they might not otherwise afford.

Factor in the obvious fraud involving the collusion of many people and groups both in the US and in Israel, and by any other name, it's theft, and that really needs to be prosecuted.
