As someone who has taken on student loans to get a graduate degree, this pisses me off:

Rep. Virginia Foxx On People With Student Loans: ‘I Have Very Little Tolerance’ For Them

Though many politicians sympathize with those who are saddled with exorbitant student debt, Foxx, who chairs the House subcommittee on higher education, had a different take. Appearing on G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show, the North Carolina congresswoman recounted her own experience paying for college, where she worked her way through and graduated after seven years. Foxx then pointed to her own experience as justification for why she has “very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt.” “There’s no reason for that,” she concluded.

She can STFU and get bent. My grad program doesn’t give me the luxury of sitting around for seven years. It’s a structured two year degree. Law school is usually a three year program. Pharmacy school is 4-5 years. All those programs are expensive as shit, and people often have to pay for them with student loans.

Just because she took seven years to get a bachelor’s degree doesn’t mean that everyone has that luxury. Fuck her.
