The Upshot
New Evidence Shows DeVos Is Discarding College Policies That Are Effective
A close analysis of more than 500 failing programs suggests current rules have been successful at reining in predatory for-profit colleges.
"The
rules that Ms. DeVos wants to repeal are called the gainful employment
regulations. They work like this: For all for-profit programs, and any
nondegree employment certificate programs at public or nonprofit
colleges, the education department compares how much the typical student
borrows versus how much they earn after graduation.
If
the ratio is too high — if students borrow lots of money and can’t get
well-paying jobs — the program is deemed “failing.” A program that fails
in two out of three years becomes ineligible for federal financial aid.
Since many for-profit programs get up to 90 percent of their revenue
through the Department of Education, the penalty will almost surely shut them down."
The
rules that Ms. DeVos wants to repeal are what the Republican party finds objectionable.
Ms. DeVos does not belong in a public capacity.

There are reasons the health insurance legislation is morally obscene.Paul Krugman is a jewish Democrat.
A second generation survivor of the Roosevelt administration.
He has a moral opinion.
That is not a bad thing.
He is a scholar.

He is correct as far as I can dig.

Michael K. Williams Is More Than Omar From ‘The Wire’
Mr. Williams has made a career of bringing nuance and contrast to his roles, inspired by the swaggering characters he grew up with in East Flatbush.I am not brave enough to want to move to East Flatbush.

The “Late Show” host did not think he was still capable of being surprised by something President Trump said.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/30/us/politics/trump-health-law-affordable-care-act.html
It looks like an end for Trump-care.
There is no certainty.
The Republican party is capable of self-destruction.
