Rep. whose campaign contribs largely from for profit colleges attacks Obama student loan plan
Rep. John Kline (R-MN) was on Fox and Friends today attacking Pres. Obama's student loan relief plan:

“This administration has been bypassing Congress on issue after issue after issue — they’ve sort of famously issued hundreds of rule changes and executive orders to bypass Congress, so I think that’s a mistake,” Rep. John Kline said on Fox and Friends. Kline, who chairs the education committee in the House has been sharply critical of most of Obama’s education proposals since gaining the post in 2010.

Kline added that the government should stop subsidizing student loans altogether.

“We simply can’t keep providing money from the federal government in the form of subsidized or actual loans and Pell Grants when we don’t have the money,” Kline said.


Private and for-profit educational institutions are the top donors to Kline’s campaign and political action committee. Kline’s campaign has also benefited from private financial corporations that provide student loans.


Wow. Just look at Kline's top contributors: DeVry University, Beauty Schools of America, and ITT Tech! So if Kline had his way, how would it benefit his contributors?
