I worked in the 07 session in the house as a democratic staffer. I think it is important to mention that Speaker Merkley gave the minority more rights than the dems had during republican rule. A lot of the dem staffers were in the feeling that we should "screw" the republicans just like they did to us.

Im sorry i didnt get in before the show was over. I was in the car. I just wanted to say how much i love my student loans. I know that sounds crazy but its true. Nowhere else can you get a loan with a rate that is less than inflation. I went to Linfield as well an I only wish i would have taken out more loans and saved my money for investments. With all the talk about how bad student loans are, and i agree there are some pretty bad ones and some people are in a bad place, i have a positive look at my loans. I just wish there was more available from the government with the low interest rates.

Thanks
