Eh, well let’s stop “subsidizing” college degrees first, especially those zero value added degrees that don’t prepare anyone for future employment. If we’re going to eliminate subsidies, let’s eliminate the ones that are direct payments first, as opposed to tax credits geared toward promoting productive ends. Another credit that we could look at eliminating are those for local and state taxes. Why should people from low tax states subsidize those from high tax states?
