[ VIDEO ] Not a regular watcher of C-Span's Washington Journal but on May 3rd I caught most of this segment with Peter Morici an economics professor who talks about student loan debt and the state of higher education. Here's a description:
> Peter Morici talked about his Des Moines Register article on the value of a college degree in comparison to tuition costs, accrued debt, and salaries earned after graduation. He said that employers require college degrees for jobs that do not pay enough to justify college costs, in part due to high schools' failure to adequately prepare students for the work force. He urged incoming college students to major in science fields, which pay higher salaries and provide specific job skills. Professor Morici also responded to telephone calls, electronic communications, and questions from students at Asheville-Buncombe (NC) Technical Community College, who participated via Skype. What Morici says seems a bit dour, but it should make people think about what they hope to get out of college. Is it about an education or about a future career? If only this information had been available when I was in high school hopefully our young people will understand what this "investment" can represent.

Reason-Rupe Poll: Do Americans Feel Safer After 9/11, TSA, and Foreign Wars?
As the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks arrives, do Americans feel safer after the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq? According to the new Reason-Rupe poll of 1200 US adults, "62 percent say we have less personal freedom today" but "81 percent have faith that the security measures implemented" has made America safer from terrorist attacks. Reason's Katherine Mangu-Ward talks with Emily Ekins, Reason's polling director, to find out what post-9/11 America thinks about today's national security, personal freedoms, and the Iraq War. This Reason-Rupe poll surveyed a random, national sample of 1200 adults by telephone (790 on landlines, 410 on cell phones) over August 9-18, 2011. The overall results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The full Reason-Rupe survey is online here (reason.com and ongoing analysis is online here (reason.com This Reason Foundation project is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Arthur N.

Battle for the California Desert: Why is the Government Driving Folks off Their Land?
The Antelope Valley is a vast patch of desert on the outskirts of Los Angeles County, and a segment of the few rugged individualists who live out there increasingly are finding themselves the targets of armed raids from local code enforcement agents, who've assembled into task forces called Nuisance Abatement Teams (NATs). The plight of the Valley's desert dwellers made regional headlines when county officials ordered the destruction of Phonehenge: a towering, colorful castle constructed out of telephone poles by retired phone technician Kim Fahey. Fahey was imprisoned and charged with several misdemeanors. But Fahey is just one of many who've been targeted by the NATs, which were assembled at the request of County Supervisor Mike Antonovich in 2006. LA Weekly reporter Mars Melnicoff wrote an in-depth article in which she exposed the county's tactic of badgering residents with minor, but costly, code violations until they face little choice but to vacate the land altogether. "They're picking on the the people who are the most defenseless and have the least resources," says Melnicoff. Reason.tv collaborated with Melnicoff to talk with some of the NAT's targets, such as retired veteran Joey Gallo, who might face homelessness if he's forced to leave his house, and local pastor Oscar Castaneda, who says he's already given up the fight and is in the process of moving off the land he and his wife have lived on for 22 years. And, while Antonovich declined an interview, we did ... From: ReasonTV Views: 122721 1359 ratings Time: 09:50 More in News & Politics
