You still haven't said what, if anything that Bush lied.

I know that it is comfortable for you libtards to just claim that there are no winners,

but you and your ilk are losers.

Either you are blind or being a big asshole; the lie was given.


Can your impaired eyesight see it now? Is it clear?

Please refute this; if your myopic, dumbass view of the subject can see that...

Are you on some severe meds or just being a jerk? What is your problem, really?

George Bush lied...

He lied about Pell grants...
In his 2005 State of the Union address, Bush promised to increase Pell grant funding to help more low-income students in the U.S. afford college, as he had in his 2004 address. In fact, his 2006 FY budget eliminates the Perkins loan program, which provides low-interest loans to low- and middle-income college students, and uses those savings to increase spending on Pell grants and raise the maximum award by a meager $100, to $4,150, over the next five years. The announcement came barely a month after Bush and Congress decided to cut or eliminate Pell grants for about 1.4 million students, effective next fall, to save $300 million.

George Bush lied...

He lied about Social Security and how it would be handled...
Bush Pledges Not to Touch Social Security Surplus: "We're going to keep the promise of Social Security and keep the government from raiding the Social Security surplus." [Bush, 3/3/01]

Bush Spends Social Security Surplus: The New York Times reported that "the president's new budget uses Social Security surpluses to pay for other programs every year through 2013, ultimately diverting more than $1.4 trillion in Social Security funds to other purposes." [The New York Times, 2/6/02]

George Bush lied...

He lied about honoring this as states rights issue...
Bush Says Same-Sex Marriage Is a State Issue: "The state can do what they want to do. Don't try to trap me in this state's issue..." [Gov. George W. Bush on gay marriage, "Larry King Live," 2/15/00]

Bush Supports Constitutional Amendment Banning Gay Marriage: "Today I call upon the Congress to promptly pass, and to send to the states for ratification, an amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting marriage as a union of man and woman as husband and wife." [Bush, 2/24/04]

Federal Pell Grant
A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Pell Grants are awarded usually only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or a professional degree. (In some cases, however, a student enrolled in a post-baccalaureate teacher certification program might receive a Pell Grant.) Pell Grants are considered a foundation of federal financial aid, to which aid from other federal and nonfederal sources might be added.



How much can I get?
The maximum Pell Grant award for the 2007-08 award year (July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008) is $4,310. The maximum can change each award year and depends on program funding. The amount you get, though, will depend not only on your financial need, but also on your costs to attend school, your status as a full-time or part-time student, and your plans to attend school for a full academic year or less.


If I am eligible, how will I get the Pell Grant money?
Your school can apply Pell Grant funds to your school costs, pay you directly (usually by check), or combine these methods. The school must tell you in writing how much your award will be and how and when you'll be paid. Schools must disburse funds at least once per term (semester, trimester, or quarter). Schools that do not use semesters, trimesters, or quarters must disburse funds at least twice per academic year.

The Pell Grant program is a type of post-secondary, educational federal grant program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. It is named after U.S. Senator Claiborne Pell and originally known as the the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant program. Grants are awarded based on a "financial need" formula determined by the U.S. Congress using criteria submitted through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The Pell Grant is covered by legislation titled the Higher Education Act of 1965, Title IV, Part A, Subpart 1; 20 U.S.C. 1070a.

Because of the high levels of need required to obtain a Pell grant, receipt of them is often used by researchers as a proxy for low-income student attendance and to indicate the economic diversity of the student body.

Federal budget legislation passed in early 2006 cut the federal financial aid budget by $12.5 billion. While the maximum Pell Grant legislative limit was raised to $5,800 through 2011, maximum Pell grant awards were not funded at this level. The maximum award available to students has been frozen at $4,050 since 2003-04.
For 2006-07, the maximum Pell grant available to students remains $4,050. Due to high increases in the cost of post-secondary education and slow or no growth in the Pell grant program, the value of Pell grants has eroded significantly over time. In 2005-06, the maximum Pell grant covered one-third of the yearly cost of higher education at a public four-year institution; twenty years ago, it covered 60% of a student's cost of attendance.

For the reward year of 2007-2008 the maximum Pell Grant Award is $4,310. The 2008 maximum grant is $4,600, the largest increase in the program's 30 year history. The maximum grant is to increase to $5,400 by 2012.

George Bush lied...

He lied about getting Osama bin Laden, hadn't got him yet and really has had not intention of getting him.
Bush Wants Osama Dead or Alive: "I want justice. And there's an old poster out West, I recall, that says, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.'" [Bush, on Osama Bin Laden, 9/17/01]

Bush Doesn't Care About Osama: "I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him... I truly am not that concerned about him." [Bush, Press Conference, 3/13/02]

Based on the assessment of the clinton administration intellgence....Bush was not lieing but failed to further investigate the negligence and disinformation of CIA reports.

Sorry chump...not lieing.
