Cook Voted to Increase Interest Rates on Student Loans & Reject a 2016 minimum wage increase while collecting his salary increase

On Paul Cook, some interesting tidbits @ http://votethemout2014.net/Voted.html. The site shows that:
.
(1) Cook voted to oppose increasing the minimum wage to $10.16 per hour by 2016 (while he gets his automatic pay increase as a result of a bill cosponsored by his mentor and campaign advisor, Jerry Lewis),
.
(2) Cook voted to give Monsanto protection so they can dominate the market and charge unreasonable fees for their products without fear of liability suits, and
.
(3) Cook voted to increase the interest rate on student loans to 3.4%... so in this snippet on one site, he protects profiteering by Monsanto, screws the production workers working semi-skilled and unskilled jobs while increasing the cost of getting an education for people trying to climb out of the minimum wage trap jobs--what an elitist hypocrite!
.
Bob's view? Student loan interest rates should not be hiked at all, minimum wage (which most college students earn while earning a degree, if they are able to get a job) should be increased, especially since the loan costs are going up. Monsanto is using the government to secure market control and immunity to being held accountable. Sad man who apparently hates our young men and women just trying to survive while getting ahead, but collects his raise despite getting little done (except for large corporations).
