JEB! take's Obama's bait, and defends "No student left unprofitable"

JEB!, the nation's quintessential education crony corporatist, has come out with rhetorical guns for hire a-blazin' in defense of government-subsidized for-profit education, and his signature , "No Student Left Unprofitable" mantra. The Crown Prince last week denounced Obama's proposed "gainful employment" rule, which is aimed at (other than luring JEB! into rebuking it) holding accountable those career education programs that take taxpayer dollars, but consistently leave their students with overwhelming debt. JEB! played to his base while addressing (wanna bet he got paid?) the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, the main lobbying/trade group for government-subsidized for-profit education.  Despite the phony "private sector" name, this corporatist syndicate's largest for-profit colleges receive about 86 percent of their revenue from taxpayer dollars.
