Private lenders get nerfed. -Physcial infrastructure investment and expanded funding for some other state schools and HBCUs. -Job Training, Work Study, Apprenticeships on steroids. -Community College funding also on steroids. So I’m ok with this. I guess.

I'm just really skeptical of this Most people would be better-served by a cheap and fast vocational program than a liberal arts program I've taught too many students to think there's some kind of universal value here--or rather, that students come in prepared to find that value

I agree with all of this but overall I would say my moral education in Boy Scouts and to an extent the Church was vastly superior to anything I received in school Not sure we disagree with anything except the likelihood prepacked degree programs lead to the desired end :/
