North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx, the beloved Southern belle, education subcommittee overlord, and defender of for-profit colleges' right to loot the federal government and strap poor students with billions in debt in return for worthless pieces of paper, recently drew fresh OUTRAGE! with her admission that she had "very little tolerance for people"
Huh? The same TARP that was <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Troubled_Asset_Relief_Program" target="_blank">signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008</a>?
When I worked in St. Thomas, we bought cold beer from a soda machine on the dock (I think it was fifty cents a can), Jack Daniels was about $1.25 a bottle - and cigarettes were a quarter a pack.
That&#039;s what no sales and excise taxes can do for you. I still have the Rolex I paid a couple of hundred dollars for.
And no, it wasn&#039;t pre-WW II. Why do you ask? It was in the early &#039;70&#039;s. The 1970&#039;s.
Let&#039;s say a sucker signs up at one of those fancy for-profit &quot;colleges&quot; and starts taking courses paid for with big student loans.
The institution goes BK, the debt has been sold to a third party, the &quot;credits&quot; can&#039;t be transferred because the school wasn&#039;t accredited - yet the debt remains to be repaid, and can&#039;t be discharged by BK (although that&#039;s how the school went out of business).
While your in the area Mr. President, you should pop into Paula Deen&#039;s restaurant and ask her how that law suit is going. She would appreciate seeing you.
For profit corporations are people too ... until it&#039;s time to go broke. Then, magically, they stop being people and start being special. Just ask Bain Capital.
Remember fat lids? Sure there were too many seeds in the bottom (sometimes) but still...

Is that Paul Dean&#039;s Mom?
I don&#039;t think it&#039;s fair to call that a sour look - it&#039;s the only look she&#039;s got.
Damn lazy students should just live on rice and beans.

She&#039;s totally gonna match Joe Wilson in fundraising now. Thanks, Bammerz.
But is she experienced?
