Socializing Student Loans Or The Dishonesty Of Congress

Health Care Reform was about health care reform, right? Suspend logic for the sake of the argument and believe for a moment that health care reform was actually about health care reform. Okay?

The larger part of health care reform was actually about socialized education through the government takeover of student loans from private institutions and loan agencies. Most of America does not know this and I believe a large part of Congress had no idea about the scope of this power grab by Obama Pelosi.

Enter common sense, but watch it exit stage left because Congress wants to be able to lie, double speak and dpe the voter. It is who they are. Republicans and Democrats and the growing number of socialists in Congress will fight common sense. They'll fight with stealth, meaness and violence if that common sense would involve honesty.

Truth In Federal Legislation:Time For A Constitutional Rule?
The Case for a Truth-in-Legislation Amendment

“Congress shall pass no bill, and no bill shall become law, whichembraces more than one subject, that subject being clearly expressed in the title.”

This idea, while not a panacea, is a good start. It's time has come. I'd like to see it enacted just to watch Congress stomp their feet and turn red in the face.
