Stuff you can’t make up:
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) took on a unique enemy during a radio interview yesterday: people with student loans.
Though many politicians sympathize with those who are saddled with exorbitant student debt, Foxx, who chairs the House subcommittee on higher education, had a different take.
Appearing on G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show, the North Carolina congresswoman recounted her own experience paying for college, where she worked her way through and graduated after seven years. Foxx then pointed to her own experience as justification for why she has “very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt.” “There’s no reason for that,” she concluded…
She can’t feign ignorance of the soaring tuition costs at American colleges and universities, because she chairs the house committee that focuses on higher education. Yet, this old coot still says that there is no reason why people are graduating with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. In fact, she can’t even tolerate such people. She should retire to her outdoor couch, shotgun, and coon dog.
