"A Massive, Coordinated, Multilevel Attack on Higher Education in the U.S."

"With a huge corporate tax cut that includes full expensing, 'the GOP is encouraging companies to invest in machines and saying it will help labor, but there is not much evidence for this sort of trickle-down economics,' Rueben says. 'But there is lots of evidence that investing in human capital through education is a sure way to increase wages.' Republican tax and budget policies could impoverish public colleges, punish low-income graduate students, and raise the effective price of student debt—all to make it cheaper for large businesses to invest in nonhuman technology."
