Private, for-profit education should be regulated to protect consumers...
These assholes in congress didn't think so....

Education Interests Donated $62,900 Individuals: $40,600 PAC's: $22,300
For some strange reason, one of John Kline's largest contributors was "Starkey Labs"... whose website offers some insight into their "hearing instruments" to "select branches" of the federal government. (use your imagination).
Wireless wiretapping, anyone?
Kline is quoted as saying, "These regulations are a clear example of federal overreach into the affairs of American institutions of higher education,"
So, his idea of "overreaching" only extends into the realm of private, for-profit interests, then?
Virginia Foxx, 5th District, North Carolina - Republican
No time to snoop into the rest of these clowns... feel free.
Here's a gem found in today's NYTimes...

"We want to see real structural, cultural-type changes
tied to this debt ceiling. We're not interested in a
one-off kind of savings, or anything small."
REPRESENTATIVE MICK MULVANEY, a first-term Republican from
South Carolina.
