Yea, but they do! So since they are going to give hand outs what better way than through TOPS for a college education to a kid who has made acceptable grades in high school. Cut the other hand outs you mentioned (food stamps to citizens who choose not to work) before you start cutting funds to higher education. Higher education is literally the future of our state, nation, and ultimately human race.
