Anybody seen Collin Peterson?
For the last week, President Obama has proudly been promoting his $60 billion plan for “free” community college to anyone who will listen. What he won’t tell you is how his scheme is actually a middle class tax increase on the college savings accounts of hardworking families.
Despite widespread opposition to the plan – college savings experts tell the New York Times it would be “anti-middle class for families trying to afford college” – Collin Peterson is nowhere to be found on the issue. Yet again, Peterson refuses to stand up to liberals in Washington, despite the harm their policies would do to hardworking Minnesota families.
With his silence, Collin Peterson is complicit each time his liberal leadership devises new ways to squeeze hard earned dollars from middle class families who are just trying to make ends meet.
