Candyman: The Return Preview
After Matt Blunt's term as Missouri governor, with its semi-austerity in cutting government programs unpopularly (some of which I chronicled on my old
Draft Matt Blunt blog), it looks like 2009 will return to government business as usual.
Jay Nixon will be your candyman:
On a gubernatorial campaign stop Monday at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon unveiled a plan that would allow Missouri students who start out at a community college to get a four-year degree without having to pay tuition along the way.
Of course, economics dictates that once everyone has a bachelor's degree, the starting salaries for people with college degrees will diminish, squeezing the middle class in another fashion. But this is government/politics, not reality/economics.
