The House measure is destined to die in the Senate

What veto?

Time for Boehner to cry, McConnell to say that they have to do what the President says.

overcame a rebellion by party conservatives

Well I'm glad that at least some are still actually trying to cut spending.

“paid for by raising Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes”

Isn’t this technically illegal? That is, using money from payroll taxes to pay for things other than social security/medicare?

WOW, GOP played for fools again. Shocked, SHOCKED, I say.

Of course, I’d have cut the rate back to 3.4% but reverse O’s takeover of the student load business by the government.

As ususal, Mitt played the fool and “agreed” with Obama. This was an issue where he could have beat him bloody.

First, what’s wrong with 3.4%? Hell, you can get a 30 year APR on a home for 4.25%. Isn’t 6.8% a little high? And even at 3.4% isn’t the government basically breaking even (if all pay it back)?

This is why it would have been a good argument to take the government OUT of the student loan business all together. The best reason being that politicians, as we are watching now, can manipulate the issue for political reasons.

And the GOP and Mitt fall for the trap yet again.

And I’m supposed to believe a president Romney, Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader McConnell is going to be any better than what we have now? Really?

If you believe that you sure are running out of examples to prove your point.
