Pitting Federal Reserve risk-free short-term lending to banks versus long-term risky lending to students was pure political demagoguery.
My post yesterday, Elizabeth Warren finds way to inflate Higher Ed bubble even more, has received a fair amount of attention.
The Boston Globe featured the post in its coverage of the debate over Warren’s proposal,
As expected, the #OpUSA campaign planned by hackers against US websites on May 7th turned out to be nothing more than mostly hot air. All the promises to “wipe...
As a citizen activist, I remember how thrilled we were with the results of the 2010 election, in which the Republicans made enormous gains that were suppose to protect the free market.

Warren’s first bill should be called the “Harvard Tuition Subsidization Act of 2013″
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...
The Gang of 8 immigration bill has brought forth some clarifying moments.
Not the least of which is that there is bipartisan demagoguery in support of the bill using the straw man argument that the issue is hostility to immigration.
Obama and Grover Norquist both are suggesting that hostility to immigration is...
