It’s genuinely surprising how much conservatives hate the student loan portion of the new health care law. All it does is remove the middle-man: big companies that give loans have only been able to do so with the backing of the federal government; now those big companies are being removed from the picture (unless they can handle it themselves).

Scratch that. The new law makes complete sense. That’s why conservatives hate it.
