Donlyn Turnball at Right Wing News has an eye opening post dealing with legislation proposed by Senate Democrats to regulate your options with regard to studies in college. Of course, this legislation may be a round about effort to target for profit trade and technical schools as well.

Norquist to Coburn: Drop Out
Count Me Among Those That Are Not Fans of Grover Norquist
From: National Review Online
Norquist, in an interview with National Review Online this afternoon, called on Coburn to drop out of the “Gang of Six,” a bipartisan group of senators working on deficit reduction. “Coburn is negotiating with President Obama’s best friend in the Senate, Dick Durbin,” he said. “They are playing Coburn like a Stradivarius. Durbin is walking him down into an alley where he is going to get mugged.”
“He should walk away as soon as possible,” Norquist said. “He should say that all the Democrats want to do is raise taxes, and we’ve got the Ryan plan, so let’s fight this out in 2012. Otherwise he is going to cost us Senate seats right across the board.”
Earlier today, Coburn appeared on Laura Ingraham’s radio show and said that the “Gang of Six” has “no plan to have a significant tax hike on anyone.” He also hinted that some people may “pay increased taxes,” if the group decides to lower marginal rates and eliminate various tax credits.

Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform, is declaring political war on Sen. Tom Coburn (R., Okla.).
“He should walk away as soon as possible,” Norquist said. “He should say that all the Democrats want to do is raise taxes, and we’ve got the Ryan plan, so let’s fight this out in 2012. Otherwise he is going to cost us Senate seats right across the board.”

Senator Coburn Plan to End Ethanol Credit
From: Bloomberg
Senator Tom Coburn is trying to challenge the proposition that all tax breaks are created equal.
The effort by the Oklahoma Republican to end a tax credit for ethanol places him in conflict with farm-state senators who want to keep the tax incentive. It also puts him at odds with tax-cut advocates in the Republican Party, who argue that eliminating the tax break would result in an unacceptable tax increase. The proposal could reach the Senate floor this week.
A vote would force many Republicans to choose between their no-tax-increase pledge and their desire to reduce the budget deficit by cutting what they view as waste. Coburn’s amendment reaches beyond the ethanol debate and draws attention to tax expenditures, which reduce federal revenue by more than $1 trillion a year. They range from the mortgage interest deduction to tax credits for security cameras in fertilizer warehouses.
