21CC yet again has its finger on the pulse of the body politic. Here's an article in today's WaPo on-line about the Obama administration's proposal to effectively make higher education a government subsidized "entitlement" for everybody who wants it. Seems you guys aren't the only ones who think all human beings on planet Earth are entitled to a little book learning.
Also check out the quote at the end from Rep. Timothy Bishop (D-N.Y.), "a former college provost and a member of Miller's committee, [who] said the lending proposal 'goes to the very heart of one's perception of what is the role of the federal government. And I think there will be a significant fight over it.'" Those italics are mine; the words are his, though. I didn't tell him to say that -- unless, of course, ol' Rep. Bishop's been reading the blog!
