Will Cornyn tell these kids about all the debt they owe now because of his weasel cloture votes for TARP, Stimulus, ObamaCare, Amnesty and Debt Ceilings?

What a huge waste of money, and this guy thinks it's a GOOD thing?

Teach these kids to add and subtract and they won't need any further help!

My wife said she’s going to vote just to vote against Cornyn. This after a year of saying she’d never vote again.

It's not possible to spend enough money to change the fate of a dull or incurious mind.

He just voted to increase the debt of this nation and is brought out to promote “financial literacy” curriculum.....

LOL

A bank is sponsoring the curriculum so it probably is behind Cornyn with its bucks as well.....

Financial literacy from a man who voted with NO STRINGS to extend the debt ceiling, and just keep spending into oblivion.

This man is a joke.
