Go RINO go !
Arizona now a toss-up State !?
“Arizona: Romney 42, Obama 40?”

Here we go Romney is “Obama Lite!”
Romney, a living, breathing RINO disaster.
Vote for the most conservative House and Senate candidate. Either way we’ll get Obama or Obama-white...er lite.
The student loan deal is another liberal funding program.
Students borrow huge sums at subsidized rates, pay big $$ to colleges for overpriced education.
Schools pay big $$ to liberal profs and administrators.
Profs and admins contribute $$ to liberals.
And repeat.....
i’m not a romney fan at all but the guy is right on this one...why should student loan rates double when interest rates in the economy are fractional???
this was a trap set up by the rats- the GOP better be careful and not step into it...
51% of the last graduating class can’t find jobs or are underemployed. They owe billions in student loans that they can’t pay back. It’s no different than all the mortgages that will never be repaid, it will all combine to trash the economy even more.
Myth Romney would be remembered as a true American patriot if he were to drop out of the political race for the presidency.
1. No one forced anyone to go to a University and take on debt
2. Not one line exists written in the Constitution that allows the Federal Govt. to be in the business of student loans.
He’s just getting started. Remember McCain rushing back to DC to vote for TARP? Romney will fold like a tarp.
Better to grant a lower interest rate and get loans repaid then to default and never get them paid. Or, as has been proposed, to forgive all student loans.
Low? My son’s student loan payment interest rate is 8%. He took it out three years ago.
We paid most of his costs, this is an 11k responsibility loan.
Man are we ever scr*wed.
SHOCKED! I tell you!
This is why the republicans have rightfully earned the historic honorific as "The Stupid Party." For the sake of vindictively smacking around a few academics, who already have their money salted way in rich pensions anyway, they are willing to alienate a huge proportion of the voting population: ie, all those who have onerous student loans, sometimes their spouses, and usually their cosigning parents.
Brilliant, GOP, f*ing brilliant.
Rewarding bad behavior is the major problem of student aid, as it is with other parts of our economy. The student who gets a job and works hard to help put his way through college is penalized. The student who goes on spring break all year and then says he has no money is rewarded.
The real problem is not the amount of money; it is that the wrong behavior is rewarded. Student aid teaches a lesson that is well learned and follows them into the real world. They thinnk the way to get ahead is to get a “position” but not actually do any work. Then play the victim card and expect to get rewarded. For those already in a position, its working. For others, they are counted as “unemployed” which just means they get a valued victim card to play.
If you paid most of his costs, why did he take out 11K loans at 8%?
Not pretending that I care, I really don’t.
What I do care about is why you think I, as a mere taxpayer, should pay for any of your family’s bad financial “investments”?
Seriously, your private “investment” debt it not my problem, anymore than your personal investment returns are my gains.
