Congresswoman Virginia Foxx talks with Neil Cavuto on FOX Business about student loans, and President Obama’s bully pulpit at UNC- Chapel Hill. She points out that the people he was speaking to, would not even be affected by the hike in interest rates coming in July. (Talk about misleading!)
What do you think? Is there any reason college students should voluntarily pile themselves down with debt? Do you believe keeping the rates artificially low if profitable for Americans?
The Buffett Rule, a proposed tax hike on hardworking Americans, would only further complicate our tax structure and do nothing to reduce our rising deficits. In fact, if enacted, it would only reduce our annual deficit of $1.2 trillion by less than half of 1%. It’s time for real solutions–not pointless tax hikes. House Republicans are committed to cutting spending and instilling meaningful, pro-growth tax reform.
President Obama has declared war on the Supreme Court in advance of the Court’s ObamaCare decision. Declaring the Justices of the Court “unelected,” Obama seems eager to create a constitutional crisis. Why is Obama insulting the integrity of the judiciary and not making the constitutional argument for his health care legislation?
However, the 5th Circuit Court has their own questions for the President:
A federal appeals court is striking back after President Obama cautioned the Supreme Court against overturning the health care overhaul and warned that such an act would be “unprecedented.”
A three-judge panel for the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ordered the Justice Department to explain by Thursday whether the administration believes judges have the power to strike down a federal law.
One justice in particular chided the administration for what he said was being perceived as a “challenge” to judicial authority — referring directly to Obama’s latest comments about the Supreme Court’s review of the health care case.
The testy exchange played out during a hearing over a separate ObamaCare challenge. It marked a new phase in the budding turf war between the executive and judicial branches.
“Does the Department of Justice recognize that federal courts have the authority in appropriate circumstances to strike federal statutes because of one or more constitutional infirmities?” Judge Jerry Smith asked at the hearing.
…
Smith also made clear during that exchange that he was “referring to statements by the president in the past few days to the effect … that it is somehow inappropriate for what he termed unelected judges to strike acts of Congress.”
“That has troubled a number of people who have read it as somehow a challenge to the federal courts or to their authority,” Smith said. “And that’s not a small matter.”
Smith ordered a response from the department within 48 hours. The related letter from the court, obtained by Fox News, instructed the Justice Department to provide an explanation of “no less than three pages, single spaced” by noon on Thursday.
Some missed the airing of the Breitbart tapes concerning Obama and his college days last night on Hannity. I watched it, and then come across this video from CNN this morning. IF you missed it last night (or even if you watched Hannity), this video explains more about the tapes, and CNN in one punch than what Hannaity covered last night, in my opinion.
The irony in the panel and O’Brien implying Breitbart / Pollack as racist and “afraid of black people”-
I believe we all can agree that those who are willing to so quickly use the “race card”, will do so completely ignorant of the facts in front of their face!
