That mantra is a repuke hallmark, or I thought it was, because it only scratches the surface. Intelligent people including us Dems can look deeper than the obvious and see that the for-profit education industry does a disservice to most of us who lack the wealth to make loans at exorbitant interest rates.

For-profit education limits who can attend college by keeping out all but the wealthy and those with available credit. That doesn't speak well to America's future, and we are now in the beginning stages of reaping what we have sown since Reagan.
