Each post office branch would use a totally different zip code system. They would charge different amounts… Continue reading Our socialist post office

Krugman: Nobody could have predicted
First, those who don’t want to nominate Hillary Clinton because they don’t want to return to the nastiness of the 1990s a sizable group, at least in the punditocracy are deluding themselves.

No Size Fits All
Over the past 35 years, college completion rates have been flat. Income growth has stagnated. America has squandered its human capital advantage. Students at these places are on self-directed missions to reverse that, one person at a time. Community college enrollment has been increasing at more than three times the rate of four-year colleges.
