Just goes to show that Perry has nothing else to go on. Hope he disappears from the headlines just as quick as he appeared.

Paul wants to phase out federal student loans - Boston.com

Screw Ron Paul, he's a nut, a moron and NONE of his ideas are practical. I'll be glad when he goes back into his cave for another 4 years.

Name calling is all you have when you cannot post any fact based opposition to Paul's claimes about federal student loans being a failure and contributing to higher costs.

You do realize that the cost of student loans has actually risen since Obama nationalized the student loan industry don't you? The federal government rarely administers programs more efficiently than the private sector.

I quoted an actual Ron Paul quote. My name calling was based on that as well as many of his other ridiculous ideas. The private sector is what lead us into the current financial disaster. If you actually think they give a shti about education or doing anything effieciently your a fool.

You really don't get it at all do you? It's not about what they "give a shti" about. Efficiency is the inevitable result of accountability. Government has none.

ANd what accountability does the financial sector have??? You must've slep through the last 4 years. Government officials are accountable to voters, the private sector NOBODY. Ron Paul and his delusional ideas will never go anywhere.

You're clueless. Private companies are accountable to their customers and stockholders. They are generally more efficient than government, because if they're not efficient, they die. Government just taxes you (well probably not you personally, but the evil rich).

Deep down, you feel that Ron Paul is not forceful enough, right?

Are you a Perry man?
