a modest proposal
Reader comment on: Obama on College Graduates
Submitted by Daniel in Brookline (United States), Mar 15, 2011 13:22
Robert Heinlein anticipated this, and answered it in his novel "Friday": simply give every eighteen-year-old American an automatic bachelor's degree. We will then have the "highest proportion of college graduates in the world", without having to do much of anything. Mr. President, if you have objections to this scheme, could we please hear them?
