Audio: Rep. Virginia Foxx Attacks People With Student Loans
Appearing on G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show recently, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) slammed people with student loans (audio below). She also invoked the Declaration of Independence against financial aid.
Rep. Foxx seems to think that student loans, today, should not be more than student loans when she went to school in 1968 and 1972, even though tuition costs are far more expensive now.
Rep. Foxx sad: "I went through school, I worked my way through, it took me seven years, I never borrowed a dime of money. He borrowed a little bit because we both were totally on our own when we went to college."
"I have very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt because there’s no reason for that. We live in an opportunity society and people are forgetting that. I remind folks all the time that the Declaration of Independence says 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' You don’t have it dumped in your lap."

You want a college education? You're a snob! - Rick Santorum (R - idiot)
Anyway... yeah, this woman is freaking delusional. "I remember, back in the day, when dinosaurs roamed the earth! It was only .20 for college!" lol. But seriously, does this woman not understand inflation? How the hell is she in a public office. Frightening what the Republicans will vote in. I mean, yeah, there are things like the PELL Grant and FAFSA, but still, not everyone qualifies for those. And the republicans want those sorts of aid stopped too, cause they're "communist" lmao. Such freaking morons, they just want everyone as dumb as possible so they can lead them back onto the leash of religion.

The US is falling behind the rest of the world educationally. In all other first world countries, a university education is greatly subsidized or free, but not in the US. Anyone see a correlation? Anyone?
