I've heard everything now.

The one real idea I heard during the "Voters First Forum" (click here) came from Rand Paul who attended the forum from Washington, DC via video; "Allow a deduction of the student loan from earned income."

I should say, I think the forum was done well. There was actually only one candidate on the stage at a time. They rotated through the stage as each candidate was questioned and allowed free time to talk about their virtues as a candidate. 

I think Senator Paul should put forward a bill in the Senate clearly outlining the deduction for student loans. It wasn't clear as to whether the entire payment of the student loan came off earned income or perhaps only the interest. He needs to write the bill and submit it to committee. I think he may have an ally with a woman Senator that has been working to relieve students of that terrible debt. 

Otherwise, the outrageous statements were aplenty, but, guess who made the most outrageous statement? That is exactly correct, Ted Cruz. He stated President Obama was the greatest leader of militant Islamic terrorists. How did he get there? See, it is very strange ? logic ? only a Senator seeking the majority of low information voters as his base could pull out of thin air.

It goes like this:

1. Iran is the largest country of state sponsored terrorism.

2. President Obama has negotiated an agreement with the other permanent members of the United Nation's Security Council and Germany to allow sanction relief with Iran while averting the development of nuclear weapons.

3. Iran's sanction relief equals $100 billion. 

4. The previous three statements equates to President Obama being the one leader that has sponsored Radical Islamic Terrorists. 

That statement by Ted Cruz is racist in more than one way.

This just in from RT.

Two people have died, (click here) and at least 15 other were injured, when a circus tent collapsed at Lancaster Fairgrounds, New Hampshire on Monday, according to local reports.
Initially, 250 people were trapped under the tent but they made it out safely, reported local NBC 5.

Now, that is interesting news. Was it the tent that was improperly assembled or was it the weather?
