House Speaker Boehner's Newslwtter

Open email to House Speaker Boehner:

Dear Speaker Boehner,
    I have read your newsletter.
    The headline says, "
Republicans Vote to Lift President's Offshore Energy Ban, Make Paying for College Easier, & More.
    The sub headline says, "In this week’s Speaker Alert, we’re highlighting new legislation that will help create jobs by stopping the president’s “war” on offshore energy; Senate Democrats left Washington without passing legislation to prevent a spike in student loan interest rates; the investigation into the Benghazi terrorist attack continues; and more.
    I have already commented on these matters, and will make it short and direct.
    Yes. Stop the President's war on offshore [oil] energy, and you now can include coal. We need more energy. It makes jobs.
    "No" on student loan rates. The Democrats have the right idea in opposing continued low subsidized loan rates, even though they have the wrong reason. First, government should not be in the education business. That's a matter for private enterprise alone. Using taxpayer money to subsidize low loan rates for people to attend college is also a fraud and deception. The market is already flooded with college graduates who can't find jobs, and we don't need to subsidize the generation of more. In addition, you are encouraging students to take loans on which they will have great difficulty in paying off. You are selling snake oil.
    Keep up the Benghazi interrogations, as well as IRS and anything else that puts the Obama administration on the defense.
