Why not blame the real cause of the student loan mess - the colleges. Look at their tuition rates over the last decade and you'll see that they have gone up far faster than inflation.
Harry - I just can't let your comment on guns and VW go. It's why you could never own a business - VW came to Chattanooga for one reason only $600,000,000 of our dollars - twice as much as Huntsville where they planned on going. Audi isn't coming to Chatt because we're not giving then enough money to come here.
EaTn - you say the state's budgets are strapped - for the federal government strapped would be an big upgrade - the US Government is broke - $16,000,000,000,000 in debt - only staying alive by printing money.
I believe that the closer that ownership is to local rather than national is best.
Harry - You bring up the Wickard v Filburn decision as your way of justifying the constitutionality of Obamacare. That was the Supreme court decision that started the slide downhill towards congress having absolute powers. That decision said that you couldn't grow wheat on your own land for your own use. How dumb is that.
It doesn't matter how much you might like something - if it's not constitutional then Congress can not do it. It would be nice if our government actually followed the rule book.
History is funny thing - gw alarmists tend to think climate started only 30 years ago - we never had flooding, drought, tornado's, warm weather, cold weather. Nothing new is happening right now that hasn't happened in the history of man. Not one prediction made about global warming has come true. Real science is the discovery of facts - not the consensus. Today the arctic is growing, average temperatures have not risen over the last ten years. Look at all the alarmist headlines - they have been a fake perpetrated upon us. Ice free Himalayas - that was written by a magazine writer - and adopted by the IPCC.
Glad to see both candidates come to Chatt - wish Mitt and Ron would swing by also. And I hope that the President honors us with a visit as well. As one of the speakers at the TP Forum, while proud that Rick Santorum will be our key note speaker - understand that it doesn't mean that the CTP endorses him. All have good and bad points - and it is up to the individual to make their own choice. I hope that each of you decides to attend the free event starting at 1 pm at ABBA's house
Actually federal control of schools started long before Bush - he made it worse. Not an Obama fan - but hope that he continues the complete dismantling of NCLB. Not just a few waivers - and then gets the fed out completely. (Not likely)

Guns, or lost jobs and safety

U.S. owns how much land?

EaTn - The land should be owned by the states - not the federal government.
The high court's challenge

Sen. Berke's decision
I guess they'll change the name of the paper from the VW Free Press to the Berke Free Press - how long will this editorial stay up here anyway?

Front-runner Santorum to firm up Tennessee edge in Chattanooga visit
Jonses -
Abba is the largest venue we could secure. Originally it was to be at Brainerd HS. Religion has nothing to do with it.
