Actually the point that I thought was important was the first paragraph:

In February, Congress passed the largest cut ever in student aid. Slashing $12 billion from federal assistance programs-- most of which will go back to the richest Americans in tax breaks-- Congress dramatically boosted interest rates on loans.

People are starting to make the connection that the tax cuts are not free... they are coming out of real peoples pockets. Usually the people who need it the most.

And when they cut taxes for the very rich, it decreases their deficit burden and increases the burden of the deficit on the rest of us.
