Well, they love the uneducated. It's totally unfair and bad for the country to start putting even more pressure on graduate students. For one thing, most of you could earn more money currently by leaving school to start an outside career, so you're taking the risk of delaying that to improve yourself. This should be supported more and not less. Hopefully, they just put that in there to have something to negotiate with, but who knows?
Thanks for the clear explanation of the impact from the House version.
