How I would solve the job problem. I would introduce a totally new program

9. A lottery for higher ed?

Rationing? So under your proposals, you would be denying intelligent, well qualified people their chance at higher ed! Why?

Rather than trying to solve the problem by condemning people to McJobs for life, why not return the Student Loan program and the grant programs to the pre-Reagan days? Why not actually fund higher education nationwide? Hell, why not follow the example of many countries and provide higher education free for students? In this day and age, when more and more jobs require higher education, you are wanting to limit students' ability to attain such education. That is insane, and counterproductive to advancing our society as a whole.

Also, if you rationed higher ed, you would be putting a lot of colleges and universities out of business. All those people thrown out of work. All that knowledge wasted. Geez, have you really thought this through.

As far as jobs go, rather than cutting peoples' ability to get a job, why not try basic Keynsian economics? A real jobs creation program, prime the pump to get the economy going? Not a program where people struggling to find a job, people struggling to pay the rent have to lay out even more cash in order to get a job.

Frankly your proposals read like a RW wet dream, cut back on the number of educated people in this country, force them into low paying McJobs, and control their access to employment.
