If you have a kid thinking about college, you've probably uttered "Fafsa." And you may have preceeded it with another word that starts with "F."
FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and it has grown in to a 100-question behemoth that some say is deterring those students who most need the help paying for college.
In a New York Times story, Education Secretary Arne Duncan notes that "You basically have to have a Ph.D to figure that thing out."
Yikes.
Congress being Congress, it voted last year to streamline the application - while at the same time adding seven questions to it.
But as the Times story notes, President Obama and others have pledged to improve the form, or ditch it altogether.
