I'm not sure about Yi's non-financial argument against, anyway.  I don't think we've said that everyone should go to college, just talked about how to pay for college for those that choose to attend.  A lot of the people who I went to high school with had no desire to go on to college, even if it had been free.

There are signs that there is currently a glut of college grads, even without everything paid for by Uncle Sam.

There are signs that there wouldn't be a glut of college grads if companies and government were hiring for more positions and at a brisker pace, but they're not.

Neither would there be a glut if we all owned Star Trek food synthesizers, but we don't.

That would put millions out of work.

Jet: I see.

So? There'd be far less need to work.
