Rep. Gutiérrez Introduces Bill to Open ObamaCare to Illegal Immigrants

Bobby Jindal: Scott Walker Too ‘Intimidated’ To Debate Healthcare Plan

Hillary’s College Plan: Bribe Kids to Vote Dem

The Wall Street Journal calls Clinton’s plan an “attempt to address a source of anxiety for American families while advancing one of the left’s most sweeping new ideas.” It’s no surprise the Left did everything it could to heighten that anxiety before terrorizing people into a “solution” that would spread its sweeping ideas. The WSJ dryly notes that information about Hillary’s plan “will be a key element of campaigning on college campuses this fall.” I’ll just bet it will.
