That sounds about right - Howard and Bush had a lot in commone ;) Just move the money around and give a new speech - works like a charm with a great many gullible, trusting people.

My student welfare, I suppose you could call it, was means tested too, up till the age of 24. Because my parents are farmers, it made things really difficult. As you know, one year a farm can do well, the next poorly. But say you had a good year the year before, well that affects the means testing for the year after - the year your parents wouldn't have any money to help. That's not very well explained but I think you get me :)
