He seems more interested in getting more students in there to take loans out with a little bit of help. <br /><br />Thanks Cryn, I never got anything back yet from my letter.

Glad he was...So much for Jim Webb the rising star. Glad he was on the front lines (well, after Howard Dean) of making it OK to criticize George Bush and still be an American. But his staff appear to be lacking in all faculties of critical thought if this is the response that was hobbled together.<br /><br />I'm being kind.<br /><br />This response reminds me of the advertisement for Microsoft's new search engine, Bing. In the ad, an ordinary phrase in conversation give way to a stream of nonsequitors that merely include the same phrase but entirely without connection to the point of the conversation.<br /><br />Hey, Senator Webb! It's "indentured educated class", in debt over the course of years due to laws that so favor education lenders that PRINCIPAL can actually grow in increments that exceed the size of the original loans.<br /><br />So, do ya SEE how that's entirely different than the issue of current college affordability, or current and ongoing availability of programs like Pell and Stafford?<br /><br />Yeah, DIFFERENT. Now why don't you get your staff to actually THINK before they hit , , and on those desktop keyboards when replying to a letter.<br /><br />Cynically and apoplectically,John in Bostonnoreply@blogger.com
