By Dimsdale / April 26, 2012 /

Amid all of Øbama’s recent student loan rate histrionics in an attempt to buy the votes of college audiences and Jimmy Fallon, I came across this gem of a story on college tuition increases which was briefly mentioned on the WTIC news yesterday. It was a report on the news regarding differential increases in tuition…

Another great featured video from the Cato Institute. Dan Mitchell uses an analogy I’ve used myself when discussing the United States deficit and debt, comparing it to a family getting a mortgage for a home. Mitchell is even using my “symptom of the disease” theme. I’m honored Dan …   😉

Symptom of the Disease: Liberal professor dumbfounded about support for McDaniel in Mississippi

The American people have to start somewhere. I’ve said over-and-0ver until I’m blue in the face; the DISEASE is the size and scope of the federal government and the unhealthy dependency states and local governments have when it comes to getting cash from said federal government.
