CHRIS VAN HOLLEN…ANOTHER PROUD LEFTIST…

So it is once again that we are hearing from another one of those stellar individuals who comprise the congressional delegation sent off to Washington to represent the People’s Republic of Maryland in Congress.  Keep in mind some of the more notable members of this pathetic assortment of committed leftists that includes Barbara Mikulski, Steny Hoyer, Elijah Cummings and Donna Edwards to name but a few.  A group that, I dare say, is about as far to the left as you possibly get and yet seem to have no trouble getting themselves re-elected.

But it’s in this specific instance that we’ll be focusing on yet another member of this less than stellar little group of hateful, anti-American malcontents, that being none other than Rep. Chris Van Hollen.  Mr. Van Hollen has demonstrated, more times than I care to count, his hatred for this country and his desire to do whatever is necessary to bankrupt it.  He makes that very clear when he recently said that he wants taxpayers to fund community college education, “because the costs of community college are a barrier to many people.”

It was during an appearance on CSPAN’s Newsmakers Sunday, that this boob, Van Hollen, was asked about Barry “Almighty’s” recently announced plan that would provide free education for those that want to attend community colleges. A big supporter of Barry “Almighty”, Van Hollen made it very clear that he is very much in favor of Barry’s plan, regardless of the cost to taxpayers.  He responded by saying, “I hope we will do that, because the costs of community college are a barrier to many people getting that training, getting those skills”

Newsmakers host Steve Scully said, “Congressman, as you know, the president Friday in Knoxville Tennessee -- proposing a new plan that would provide free education for those who want to attend community colleges. Is there any appetite in Congress to support this plan that would be funded 75 percent by the federal government and 25 percent by the states?”  To which Van Hollen very enthusiastically replied, “Well, I certainly hope so.” After all, like most Democrats, Mr. Van Hollen loves to spend other people’s money, the more the better.  

Van Hollen went on to say, “Because we know one of the things that can lead to higher paychecks over a lifetime is getting the education, the skills, and the training that people need.”  This hapless boob continued, saying, “I hope we will do that, because the costs of community college are a barrier to many people getting that training, getting those skills.” Look, I’m all in favor of people of getting an education, hence the reason that I worked and saved so that my daughter could go to college without going massively into debt. 

So why is it then that Barry, Mr. Van Hollen and his fellow Democrats, see it as being appropriate that I should also be made to cover the cost of making sure that their constituents are also able to attend college?  And what makes these people above having to actually work for it, as I did?  And why is it, exactly, that they should be provided with what is essentially free education, the cost if which is to be covered by those trying to put their own kids through college.  Barry likes to talk about ‘fairness’ but, where’s the fairness in this?
