The only thing that changed with this is that the cap on the loans for these fields went down. The numbers they lowered to supposedly cover about 95% of those applying still.

I don't think that anyone has argued against federally guaranteed loans as being as source of tuitions skyrocketing... So why now is it a bad thing to cap the limit at a point that covers almost everyone who needs them, and removes room for artificial inflation?

Physical therapists are needed for a wide variety of reasons

Educators?! We need all the qualified teachers we can get
