“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

This is just ridiculous:
Republicans are raising fees and interest rates for middle class students, cutting taxes on corporations and the rich, and allowing special interests to keep a special privilege that allows them to lock in higher rates on kids for years regardless of what the market does.

Certainly not for me.

Read the whole thing to find out what, exactly, he's referring to. And watch the video, too.

*UPDATE* "You’ve got to be kidding me" is going to become my new catch phrase when it comes to Congress.

Remember America, that cutting taxes on the wealthy while cutting entitlement programs to the poor and needy is, in the words of Dennis Haestert, "fiscally responsible." If you agree with that, by all means vote Republican.
