From the head of Obama’s council of economic advisors.

I’m sure there is much to be revealed, but already very troubling are the reforms.  Repayment of any loan will be limited to 5% of “disposable income” for 10 or 20 years depending on borrowers circumstances.  Exactly what incentive will colleges and universities have to control tuition costs?  They can raise them as much as they want without affecting the students.  Students willing to borrow any amount because they never have to pay.  This will funnel billions to university professors and administrators.

I think there’s going to be criticism from all angles.  Angry American college educated white kids are one of the most privileged group of people in world history.  Not many are going to buy into their politics of grievance.  Even Nate Silver has said this is naked transactional politics, paying for votes.  As blatant a payment  for votes as the Trump tax cuts.
