Texas Senator Ted Cruz, everybody’s favorite jokester, has a new one.
He opposes student loan reform. Little know fact: tucked within the anti-Obama care bill is a small section that also opposes student loan reform.
All 54 Senate Democrats present successfully voted to defeat the amendment, offered by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). If passed, it would have put the Senate on record in support of a repeal of provisions that moved student loans from commercial banks to direct lending from the U.S. Education Department …
Oh hell, yeah, if commercial banks can’t make a whopping profit off student loans, how the heck are they supposed to make a profit? Yeah, answer me that, you liberal scum-sucking slime with your fancy pants reform of student loans.
We need to cut those Pell grants and the loan repayment schedule because if we keep educating people they might be able to afford heath care, which they simply do not deserve. If they wanted an education and health care, they should have been born rich and healthly.
Ted Cruz – commercial banking’s best friend.
And, by the way, Ted Cruz is liking some of that Joe McCarthy.
Cruz, who claimed there were a dozen Communists on the Harvard Law School faculty and who regularly describes President Obama as a “radical” and “socialist,” won’t say whether or not he admires red-baiting Sen. Joe McCarthy in an interview with Todd J. Gillman of The Dallas Morning News:
GILLMAN: Is McCarthy someone you admire?
CRUZ: I’m not going to engage in the back and forth and the attacks. Several Democrats have demonstrated a willingness to attack me by name. I’m not going to engage in that argument. I’m going to stay focused on what I think Texans want me to stay focused on, which is the substance of the job.
Oh my goodness, it’s the Texas Two Step.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
