poor credit private student loans

Why deny poor children the chance to succeed?

Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., introduced a bill which includes measures to help reduce dependence on private loans, such as higher maximum Pell Grants, available to low income students. The bill will also increase federal loan limits by $1,000 each year for dependent undergraduate students and $2,000 each year for independent undergraduates and those students with parents that have poor credit.
Yet I can almost guarantee you this bill will be voted down. Why?

Are you sure that was all that was in the bill? I mean that was like what 2 sentences? Bills arent only 2 sentences long.
