Figure it out. We are IN a Depression, or GREAT recession, pick either one-they are nearly identical. The American consumer is tapped out, and will not be spending freely again, maybe will NEVER be spending as freely as they did before the crash. The credit economy is dead. This means LESS jobs for Muffy, and Buffy from Greenwich Connecticut, and the like. By definition, those that attend Ivy League schools should be ENTITLED to wealth and privilege in their adult life, no?<br /><br />So, in this fascist state we live in, the public sector will now be monetized.Now Ivy leaguers will often seek "public service" careers, grabbing high salaries, and CEO jobs paid directly from municipal taxes, instead of having to do all of that sweaty, grimey work of actually risking failure in the open market- it's quite simple.<br /><br />AND, UNION BUSTING is also accomplished, with the power elite and well connected cashing in on that 500 plus BILLION A YEAR public education market! It's all so perfect, tied in a neat little bough. Just as Goldman Sachs, Wall St., Bloomberg and others expect to make billions in daisy wheel fashion, exponentially leveraging very little of their own money into riches beyond imagination, so do the new "Night of the Living Yuppies" expect to get rich in your public school down the block. They have created the derivative, futures market from hell out of private education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
