Evidently, Obama didn’t get the message.
We’re not all socialists anymore… We’re tea partiers.

Ignoring the warning shots in Virginia, New Jersey, and now, Massachusetts, Barack Obama will plow ahead with his radical agenda and nationalize the student loan industry.
CNS News reported:
A bill currently before the Senate would empower the Obama administration to nationalize the student lending industry, eliminating the federally subsidized private loans millions of university students rely on to finance their educations.
The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act – currently being considered by the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee – would eliminate the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program. FFEL loans are federally subsidized and make up approximately 80 percent of the student lending industry.
According to the Department of Education, 14.3 million of the 17.5 million student loans were federally subsidized for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. Under Obama’s plan, the government would consume the entirety of this industry – a total of $103 billion in 2009-2010.
Because nationalizing the health care industry isn’t quite enough.
