RON BROWNSTEIN: The Coming College Decline. I’m not convinced that having fewer Americans with college degrees is necessarily calamitous, except for colleges, and Brownstein’s evidence to the contrary is thin.

Perhaps Brownstein should do a little more reading before his next piece. Meanwhile, consider the possibility that big new pushes to offset “college decline” are less about the economy or opportunity, and more like bailouts for an industry that provides the Democrats with the bulk of their donations and volunteers.
