In January I published a prescient episode entitled “The Myth of Student Loan Forgiveness.” I am going to republish it today, not just to beat my chest, but to remind us all of what happens when politics and ideology contaminate higher education. The Supreme Court decision should not have been a surprise to anyone.  And not because of conservative vs. liberal judges. This issue was in large part an election campaign promise that had no legs from the start. It was like promising your kids that you are taking them on vacation to Disneyland when you know that you can’t afford it and that it is very unlikely to happen. That means you don’t have the authority to make the promise.  Shame on you.
