Like most Americans, for whom Randy Fine is dripping with contempt, I have no college degree. I wear it not as a mark of shame but as a badge of honor. I grew up in poverty and overcame depression and substance abuse to rise to the US Congress. You call that failure. Others call that the American Dream. If you think Congress is not a real job, then why did you choose to become a Congressman? You should get a job that accurately reflects your moral and intellectual mediocrity.
