EITC man dachar shemay? I was responding to Avram’s Odessey.
Since you bring it up, EITC is the same category as EBT – but PELL grants are different. It is for society’s benefit that we offer college aid to lower income people – we are afraid of losing out on the receipient’s potential contributions that would only be possible with academic study. The person himself could lead a wonderful life without pursuing higher education, it is not a welfare entitlement.
