This bill allows the NATIONALISM of ALL student loans.
Acorn is a side issue. Look at the bigger picture.
The MSM wants everyone to know about Acorn and NOT the purpose of the Bill.
To: Retired Greyhound
NO CELEBRATING! We need to find out how these jerks got funding for all those years in the first place!
To: Tin Cup
DOH! (always use spellcheck)
Now we need to clearly articulate that ACORN is/was operated in the same manner that ObamaCare would be operated.

What you said is worth screaming from the rooftops:
Just think: A 25 and 20 year old along with a recovering alcoholic shock jock did this. Not ABC/CBS/CNN/LAT/MSNBC/NBC/NYT/PBS/WaPo/WSJ!!

No. All this shows is that there are DimocRATS who are fearful of the 2010 elections.

HOUSE VOTES TO DE-FUND ACORNAs a compromise, the Republicans voted $41 billion for the new organization OAKSEED which will help minorities and migrants start new businesses, buy homes, and vote.
OAKSEED, by a remarkable coincidence, is located on the second floor of the recently-defunded ACORN headquarters, and shares a headquarters staff and board with ACORN, so disruption to our most vulnerable citizens will be minimized.
Republican spokesmen said, "This shows that the Republican party can be strict - we will not tolerate abuses like those that happened at ACORN. Yet at the same time, we are compassionate and caring. Por los campesinos - todos. Fo' shizzle! Romney 2012!

I think it means YOU and I are now responsible for the defaults on this program What it means is, there will be no college loans unless they are from the government.

Keep your eye on the ball. This student loan bill is total crap!
To: cc2k
Thanks for posting this.
The GOP is INCOMPETENT if it doesnt make this an issue in the 2010 elections. A third of RATS vote to keep funding corruption with tax dollars!

Does anyone know if this includes a cut off of funds from the stimulus bill?
This may only apply to future allocations by the House, but not to anything previous, which would give Acorn billions for years to come.
To: itsahoot
What it means is, there will be no college loans unless they are from the government. And selective enforcement for failure to pay.

The more threads on this issue the better. It helps keep the issue front and center so the trolls can’t “flood the zone” to push it off... Why do you object?
