Pell Grants = Jobs, Senator Nelson

.
ThinkProgress is reporting that Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson may oppose the stimulus package because of--get this--Pell Grant funding.

Excuse me?

More Pell Grant funding = more students who can afford to go to college = more students who need teachers to teach them at that college = more jobs for college-level teachers.

Jobs.

Sounds to me like the good Senator may need to go back to college for some remedial arithmetic and critical thinking.
