The Money Fairy Strikes Again

Who comes up with this stuff? Having failed to deal with a long term PERS solution which could bankrupt the state in the next 5-10 years, the Oregon Legislature has now suggested "free" college tuition that you "pay forward" by owing the state a portion of your later, no doubt handsome post-college income. These guys are smoking medical marijuana! Have they looked at Federal student loan default rates? Do they know that Starbucks is a good job for a lot of college grads? How about the fact that last month's unemployment figures were up in Oregon? I think we should just declare everything free and be done with it.
