  1. Since launching her bid for president Hillary Clinton has been a vocal critic of for-profit schools, pledging in speeches across the country to "crack down on predatory schools" and help students drowning in student loan debt.

    "If they load students up with debt for programs that don't lead to good paying jobs, students and taxpayers should not be the only ones left holding the bag," said Clinton in a campaign speech in New Hampshire.

    Over five years, former president Bill Clinton earned $17.6 million from the world's largest for-profit education company, Laureate Education, Inc. In his role as "honorary chancellor," Clinton has traveled the world on Laureate's behalf, extolling the virtues of the school.

    So we're holding the actions of the husband against the wife yet again. Good to know!

    EDIT: this in no way implies that I have no sympathy to the students–I hope they get some relief. But fuck if I can see why Hillary had to be dragged into the headline as if she bore responsibility FFS.

  2. Clinton also trashed Glass-Steagall. Politics is messier than the ashes from a Cuban cigar.
    But, one doesn't have to look farther than the tax cuts for the rich, anti-science, sell off public lands, mysogynist, homophobic, etc. agenda of the GOP.

  3. criminal, predatory, unrealistic. That's why Kid Glass isn't going to college until his head is screwed on a bit better (blame his dad's bad genes)
