Uh oh: Watch out, because Sen. Durbin is working to make something else 'affordable'

Posted at 2:02 pm on November 14, 2014 by Doug P.

Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin is determined to do for textbooks what they’ve done for health care:

This is why we need the Affordable Textbook Act #TextbookBroke: http://t.co/GclcHJYdRz

Durbin and Minnesota Democrat Sen. Al Franken introduced the “Affordable College Textbook Act” a year ago and they’re still pushing it.

Maybe Durbin and Franken should send Jonathan Gruber out to sell the bill to “stupid” voters.

@SenatorDurbin If that's anything like the "Affordable Care Act" expect the price of text books to more than double & be rationed!

Senator Durbin, here are much better suggestions:

@SenatorDurbin Can we have an Affordable Government Act instead?

@redsteeze @SenatorDurbin What we need is an Affordable Government Act.
