The Cost of College and Accompanying Student Debt Create a Negative Social ROI
Remember that credit is money.
—Benjamin Franklin
The June 2023 Supreme Court decision to reject the Biden administration’s plan that pandered to those claiming impoverishment by the costs of higher education is a second-act curtain on the student debt drama. A third act in the drama was outlined by President Biden on June 30 using piecemeal administrative decisions.
For more than twenty years, the federal student loan program has been mismanaged....

Why do we have recessions from time to time? Because of the irrational speculators, of course. Why do economic bubbles exist? Because of wild overspeculation, undoubtably.

Striking Hollywood Actors and Writers Might Have to Get Used to Stagnant Wages
People with jobs, children, and actual responsibilities might not have noticed, but Hollywood is nearly shut down right now thanks to both a writers' strike and an actors' strike.

These actors and writers may be in for...
