I dunno. For some odd reason, I kinda figured that the woman who chairs the House Subcommittee on Higher Education would be vaguely aware of what a college education costs now days.

Ha!

North Carolina Republican Virginia Fox says she worked her way through college in 7 years and she thinks people with student loans are … well, perfectly awful.

FOXX: 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, totally. […] 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.

Uh, owing $100,000 when you graduate does not qualify for lap dumping.

So when the youngster at the grocery store takes her 17 sacks of groceries to the car, I am certain that he appreciates the quarter she gives him toward his college education.
