BTW: Speaker Boehner lead the house off to another recess next week. Their ninth recess in 2012. What other job can you have that pays $174,000 a year and gives you over nine weeks vacation in less than six months?

If congress doesn't act before the end of June, student loan rates will double. Both parties agree this should not happen, but republicans want to pay for it by cutting - what else? Women's health care. Democrats want to pay for it by raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires. So the big losers here will either be students, women, or millionaires and billionaires, while the speaker plays golf. Is this a great country or what?
