In this episode, I discuss Governor Andrew Cuomo’s proposal to make New York State colleges and universities “free” for students from families that earn under $125,000 a year. Cuomo’s predictable response to affordability issues stemming from too much government involvement is to involve government even more. The plan estimates a $163 million annual outlay by 2019, but I can virtually guarantee that costs will be higher than that estimate. The proposal estimates only a 10% boost in enrollment at New York State colleges and universities, which is a vast underestimate when something is now made “free” to most prospective students in the state. Also, I discuss Greece’s soft ban on cash and Lena Dunham’s comments in which she said she wishes she had an abortion simply for the sake of being able to say she has had one.
