What an opportunity! Perhaps the Doc can persuade somebody in politics that this is good for the whole country. 25% reductions in employment, GDP, and the like. If it's good for higher education, why not the local car dealership? <BR/><BR/>The Republicans are looking for good ideas now, maybe they should listen up to the Doc.

But I believe the Treasury Secretary, Bernanke, and both houses of congress have absolutely lost their damned minds. 535 dumbasses in one building.<BR/><BR/>With that said, I believe that our "government gone wild" will just throw more money that we do not have at higher education financing. I hope I am wrong.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile; where is the outrage from higher ed consumers?? Maybe I'm just not listening very well.<BR/><BR/>Forgive my off-color linguistics, but I just cannot believe what is going on and it really ticks me off.RWWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345147132602206121noreply@blogger.com
