Please notice she's elected, not appointed to a cabinet position.

If she were an Obama apointee she would indeed have all of the things you just listed.

She seems like a good senate candidate, it's going to be funny as hell watching to see if she sticks to her guns and opposes Bush 3.0 and his cadre of Goldmen Sachs and lobbyist henchmen. If she does, she'll be out of the senate pretty fast.

Why? Do you not understand anything about the yield curve? Students borrow for 10 years, the discount window is an overnight rate.

Every taxpayer in this country is held at gunpoint to pay for the trillions in bailouts handed to the banksters/wall street, via the IRS. You have no problem with that?

I do indeed have a problem with that. I wouldn't have bailed them out, had it been my decision.

Don't see why we need an entire bailout of student loans, either. Do you hold them at all responsible for the decisions they made to borrow all that money?

You should be embarrased to post such tripe. It is impossible to even begin to explain how many things are wrong within this very short post so void of any critical thought process...

Don't get banks and businesses mixed up. They're not the same.
