In 2000 fewer than 4 million Americans received Pell Grants to attend college; by 2012, nearly 9 million did.
From 2002 to 2012, total federal aid more than doubled, going from $83 billion to $170 billion.
Yet large portions of those recipients never graduate and many that do are truly underemployed - we increasingly have college educated taxi drivers, janitors, bar tenders and retail sales clerks.
