Education: From Liberty to Servility

The meaning of "liberal" is based on the root which comes from the Latin liber meaning "freedom." Increasingly education looks more like indoctrination rather than how to think.
This video from the National Inflation Association (NIA) calls the value of a college education into serious question from the point of view of economic return on investment. They are also pushing silver and gold investment and sounding the alarm that hyperinflation is coming. Whenever you listen to people at the extremes (and I think that NIA is definitely on one end of the spectrum) you have to question how much of what they say is accurate, but make no mistake about it, much of it is. There is way too much regulation. There is way too much bureaucratization. There is way too much organized meddling. The result of all this is higher costs and reduced effectiveness. Something needs to change. Is it as bad as they project? I sure hope not!
