The senate just passed a bill giving students and families billions in new aid, and it's lenders. Kennedy is especially proud of this higher education bill, it's because he says he knows thousands of kids in Massachusetts miss out on college every year because they can't afford it. And many of those who go, rack up so much debt they can't pursue public service careers with modest salaries.

It is," said Kennedy. "Well, it's a very powerful issue. People feel very strongly. It's the issue of life and death for these families."http://wbztv.com/local/local_story_201221338.html
