No wonder Harry Reid has to divert your attention to the Koch Brothers: because your federal tax dollars are money to be looted for the benefit of Harry Reid's family. Where would Key G. Reid be without University of Nevada pushing higher tuition thanks to Harry Reid? Does Harry and Key Reid care about indebted college graduates in their 20's? Why is Harry Reid so greedy with your tax dollars? No word yet on this story from Dick Durbin or his wife
Loretta.
