I was prompted to ask this when I saw a question asking conservatives why they were against federal student loans. One conservative responded by saying that people should pay their own way through school. Did YOU pay your way through school, or did your parents? Did you use any sort of financial aid? Can you understand that a lot of intelligent, able people would be unable to attend college if it weren't for government financial aid programs? Sure, one could argue that these people should pay their own way through school, but it's kind of hard to pay so many thousands of dollars per semester when you have to work for a living AND pay for living expenses (food, shelter, clothing, et al.).
