Rather surprisingly, this Salon article does a pretty good job of debunking the idea that going to college ensures you an “earnings premium.” More surprisingly, the author turns thumbs down on the idea that the solution is for the kindly government just to forgive the debts of people who borrowed unwisely for college.

When sites like Salon can run articles attacking the leftist notion that the more people we put through college, the better off we’ll be, we’re near a breakthrough.
