Does the fine print stipulate that those students who refuse to comply with an Obama federal student loan will be “penalized” with higher tuition fees?

Now with Obamacare constitutional, there won't be too many jobs for 'em -- so they're probably worse off.

Why didn’t the gutless PUBs attach an amendment ceasing funding for DeathCare? Or an amendment requiring every American to buy a firearm and 1,000 rounds of ammo?

BECAUSE THERE IS NO COURAGE IN THE ENTIRE CRIMINAL ENTITY KNOWN AS THE CONGRESS.

You have been warned. Over one million people marched on Washington, and we were ignored. Scratch the soapbox.

We elected new people to change the course in Washington. Nothing has changed. Scratch the ballot box.

We put our hopes on the SCOTUS to strike down the most blatantly unconstitutional act ever passed by any Congress. They twisted words to mean something that was not intended. Scratch the jury box.

Thre is still one box left. I have earnestly hoped that it was the one box that would never be used. However, I am reminded of one sign I saw at the march: “Don’t make me come back armed”.

If not us, who? If not now, when? If not here, where?

They’ll have to pay interest on the loans we take out (from China) to cover the subsidies on the interest — plus, the subsidized interest payment.
