Finding the Right College
Readers discuss how to make college admissions less stressful and ensure a good match.There is little pressure on when one goes to college.
The problem is learning. Preparation is necessary. Preparation is often free or near free. Learn the basic course work before you go. It gets in the way of learning what makes the course worth the time.
Graduate work leads to the good jobs.

In Hamilton’s Debt
Of course the founding father should stay on the $10 bill. Today’s policy makers could learn from his wisdom."I’m not alone among economists in my admiration for our first Treasury secretary. In fact, Stephen S. Cohen and J. Bradford DeLong have an excellent new book, “Concrete Economics,” arguing that Hamilton was the true father of the American economy."
"Beyond that, however, Hamilton argued that the existence of a significant, indeed fairly large national debt would be good for business. Why? Because “in countries in which the national debt is properly funded, and an object of established confidence, it answers most of the purposes of money.” That is, bonds issued by the U.S. government would provide a safe, easily traded asset that the private sector could use as a store of value, as collateral for deals, and in general as a lubricant for business activity. As a result, the debt would become a “national blessing,” making the economy more productive."
"Unfortunately, Hamilton isn’t around to help counter foolish debt phobia. But maybe reminding policy makers of his wisdom is one way to chip away at the wall of folly that still constrains policy. And having his face out there every time someone pulls out a ten can’t hurt, either."
