Video – Charles Krauthammer blasts Obama’s speech on college affordability
Obama kicked off his big college speech tour this week. I think it’s safe to say Dr. Charles Krauthammer is unimpressed.
National Review Online has the story.
Krauthammer’s Take: Higher Education Ought to Be ‘Organic’
Charles Krauthammer blasted President Obama’s speech on college affordability today, deriding the increase in regulation his proposed policies would bring.
“[I]s the federal government not intrusive enough in all other areas of our life and now it’s going to regulate graduation rates?” Krauthammer said on Special Report.
In a speech earlier in the day, President Obama proposed a new government system that would rate colleges on many factors, including average tuition and graduation rates. Krauthammer accused the president of wanting to nationalize higher education and said he was skeptical of the plan.
Here’s the video.

I think it might be a good idea to refuse federal funding for any major that ends in “studies”. Of course, those majors would then just be folded into the social science departments, further ruining them.
Isn’t there any good economic study explaining the explosion in the cost of higher education?
