Bernie offers false hope and fails to address the real problem for the college bound.

71. This is a good question...

Though no doubt throw out there in the worthless game of gotcha played between Bernie Puppets and the Hilarybots. And no doubt the threads above, which I have yet to look at, are probably hissy fits and kindergarden fighting between the camps--though I do hold out hope that a good discussion is there.

College education is good in-and-of-itself. Even if we approach a 100-percent mechanized age, and we have some quasi-socialist system higher Ed will still be of value. I have always hated the idea that the purpose of college was a career, it should be more than that. Actually, a mechanized economy will do wonders for changing how higher ed appears, ending once and for all it's framing as a point in a career path ( for many vocations), and freeing for intellectual and cultural growth.
