Obama's Offer To OWS Students Complaining of Loans: Hey, Let Me Buy You A Big Mac Meal -- Supersized! -- Once a Month

I'm conflicted between being annoyed that further tax money is being diverted towards a noisy cog in the liberal machine and being grateful that it's so meager a gesture.

Krauthammer:

"It's entirely incoherent," Charles Krauthammer said of Obama's plan to pay down student loans. "I'm not sure if those savings are real, where are they? What he spoke about today was tweaking the student loan program, which he now controls. In a way, it's rather astonishing. The numbers were run by an economics correspondent today in The Atlantic magazine. And It turns out what he is offering the students is between $4.50 and $7.70 a month of relief."
