Awesome graph in this post by Krugman. I'm curious, though, how much of the difference in completion outcomes is related to income.
Romney is awfully cynical - "don't expect the government to forgive the debt you take on". If this is the mentality, we wouldn't have very many doctors or lawyers; med or law school without loans, yeah right. I think I'm convincing myself a little bit to agree with Romney... less lawyers... yum.
Also, if you don't go to the university with the highest price, you're not really getting equal opportunity. Harvard is a whole lot more helpful in changing your socioeconomic status than a small div III college close to home.
