What is needed is to get government out of the education business altogether.

I once had Milton Friedman as a "substitute" professor. We were all amazed when he walked in.

A good Friedman book to read, for those who aren't very familiar with his work, is Capitalism & Freedom.

What an honor for you! Although I was not an economics major, I had Walter E. Williams as professor for 390 Economics and Public Policy as part of my undergraduate education. To fit into a crammed schedule for my chosen field of study and to to meet the prerequisites, I had to take an intersession class. The extra effort and expense was well worth it. Walter E. Williams taught half of the classes. He also serves on Grove City College's Board of Trustees. It is fun whenever he fills in for Rush....if I close my eyes, it feels like the good times of college all over again 8^).
