Elizabeth Warren finds way to inflate Higher Ed bubble even more

Easy access to student loans for people who have little prospect of repayment helped feed the Higher Ed bubble, much as easy access to mortgages for people who had little prospect of repayment helped feed the housing bubble.  It made good politics but really bad economics.

Easy student loans have allowed higher...

I refuse to be drawn back into a Massachusetts Senate race where Ed Markey surely has a wide double-digit lead, having served for 37 years in Congress and being a well-known liberal stalwart.

Pretty much the only mention we made about the Massachusetts Senate special election to fill the seat vacated by John Kerry was a spotlight on February 12 about Gabriel Gomez, The Great Republican Hope (in Massachusetts)?

Gomez won the primary yesterday pretty handily, and will face off against Ed Markey, who has...

Milton CVS robbed of painkillers, amphetamines:

Police are looking for the man who robbed the CVS on Bassett Street Saturday  afternoon.

A man carrying what was described as a silver folding knife robbed the store  of about 1,200 Percocet pills and 500 amphetamines at about 4 p.m., according to  police radio broadcasts.

The man was seen getting into an older model silver car with an Elizabeth Warren sticker on the back right bumper, according to police transmissions. The  driver, described as a woman, drove toward Granite Avenue.

The robber was described as a clean-shaven white man in his mid-30s, with a  tattoo on at least one of his arms, wearing a gray T-shirt with the words  whiskey and rye on it with a dark long sleeve shirt underneath. Police  broadcasts also described him as wearing a black bandana or T-shirt on his head  that did not cover his face, blue jeans and black shoes. He was carrying a  purse-like black bag with a white cross and a red circle on it.

From the comments:

CVS robber Warren bumper sticker

WAJ after-thought: Do we get a part of the loot since he’s bringing those stolen goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for? And does CVS now get to keep a bigger hunk of what it makes because it was not protected from marauding bands by police the rest of us paid for? Inquiring minds want to know.

Warren made headlines the other day when she claimed her brother lived on his social security of only $13,200 in order to score a political point.  Considering Warren’s fabulous wealth, the obvious question was why she wasn’t helping him.
