A Modest Proposal

As we watch the Higher Education Bubble burst, I have an idea the GOP could use to win back all those professional college graduates, while hurting the leftwing universities where it hurts the most.

The VodkaPundit Plan™ has two parts:

1. Immediate forgiveness of the unpaid interest on student loans.

2. Universities are on the hook to make good on the unpaid principle of student loans — but only for whatever amount tuition has increased since, say, 1980, over and above the rate of inflation. I’m sure some smart, heavily indebted Ivy League MBA can come up with the right formula.

Do we have a winner?
