Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) – GOP Moron of the Day’

Via: TPM

Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) says he supports student loans, so America’s youth can get a good education.

BUT, the government getting involved in education, he believes, puts the country on a slippery slope that could lead to, say, something like the Holocaust.

At a town hall event at a college in Maryland on Wednesday, Bartlett said he could not find “a shred of evidence” in the Constitution that the government should be involved in education.

It’s “certainly a good idea” to give students loans, Bartlett said in a video posted by the Washington Post.

“But if you can ignore the Constitution to do something good today, tomorrow you will be ignoring the Constitution to do something bad,” he explained. “You could. There are more people in our, in America today of German ancestry than any other …

The Holocaust that occurred in Germany — how in the heck could that happen?

And when you start down the wrong road, it can be a very slippery slope.”
