Behold the Mask of the Free Market Sociopath: Betsy DeVos on Capitol Hill

Al Franken questions DeVos on proficiency verses growth as guidelines to education. DeVos has no idea of what he’s talking about.

On the contrary, here’s Little Entitled Randy (Rand Paul… NOT named after Ayn Rand, says his Sugar Daddy) getting on his knees and sucking up to Betsy and telling everyone just how great some of these private/religious schools are that get money from the Ebil Gubmint and how much good they are doing for those poor little darkies in places like Detroit.

Funny ain’t it how he shares the exact same philosophy as that other silver-spooner sitting across the room from him? Shocking coincidence isn’t it? It’s also funny isn’t it how his testimony mirrors perfectly the think-tank’s campaign to normalize the idea of “public/private” schools by subtly undercutting the legitimacy of the public education system while Rand says he likes public education. Pretty crafty huh? None of us plebes out here could possibly see through that little magic trick.

Oh look. DeVos brought along a little black student with her to show how magnanimous her free-market ideology is.

And lookie there… the glorious vapid silver-spooner brought along yet another prop to show how great privatization is… this one’s also got brown skin. Is that a guy with Down Syndrome sitting behind her and a Jew next to her? Not one important demographic is missing, now is it?

It’s just a big fucking cornucopia of opportunity in free market land ain’t it?

Now that’s planning, huh? And not in the least bit obvious.

“Putting a face on it and meeting these kids.. is an amazing thing” says Little Entitled Randy.

Holy shit. How stupid are these people? Are they really that stupid or do they just think we are.

That is the mask of the free market sociopath. Tricks, coaching and think-tank ideology on display in the Senate yesterday. Remarkable.

Over the years I have pointed out much of ObamaGod’s neoliberal betrayal as he became the President of Privatization. What he and his administration did to the public school system was tragic. Nothing less than tragic.

What these clowns want though is worse. Worse than Arnie Duncan? Yeah, it will be worse. They have plans to make billions cheating poor kids out of their opportunity to get a real education in America and it breaks my heart to see it happening in real time right in front of our eyes.

The good news is, the fake left is now free to oppose such things. Silenced for the past eight years, they can now get back in touch with their moral centers and start standing up for humanity once again. At least they can till Michele Obama takes office four years from now.

Oh wait… I’m sorry. Is it too late to write “spoiler alert”?
