Congressman from California, Mr. George Miller , a Democrat, has introduced 181-page Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009 to House of Representatives.

One of them is to allow access to federal student loans for collage students even if they were ever convicted for being drug offenders.

They are doomed forever. no loans for them.
