Jersey Jazzman: Unserious Education Policy

Jersey Jazzman: Unserious Education Policy

Unserious Education Policy

Atrios comments on the latest wingnut nonsense from Washington:
Yes Paul Ryan is a wingnut so it's to be expected, but anyone "serious," as Alice Rivlin is supposed to be, who thinks you can give vouchers to old people so that they can buy awesome insurance on the open market is someone who should never be listened to about anything ever again. All actual serious people should shun her.
I think this also summarizes the current education reform debate very well. A lot of really bad policy is being put out there by people who clearly have no idea what they are talking about, yet are taken "seriously."
