“College has been oversold. It has been oversold to students who end up dropping out or graduating with degrees that don't help them very much in the job market.

“Don't ever let anyone tell you that history doesn't repeat.

Indeed, I remember scratching my head when one of my college history professors in the 1970s tried to convince us of that theory and its corollary - an even better howler - that FDR was actually a conservative, because if he hadn't implemented his socialist programs, the republic would have died right there.” IfsYearsHas BeensRememberDealsEconomicCollegeTheoryEvidenceProgramDiedConservativeRecoveryDespiteRepeatsConvinceRepublicProfessorsSocialistSpinningGreat DepressionNew DealYarnConvince UsEconomic Recovery Author:David Limbaugh
