If you’re born around 1991 you turn 18 around 2009 and the economy is garbage. Garbage economy raises tuition (states have no money), raises enrollment (outside options are terrible), and depresses earnings after graduation (still-weak labor market) https://t.co/f1vSFZG1oY https://t.co/eFd2nWArJ7 — PolitiTweet.org

So what went wrong further in the last? Well, not all age cohorts are created equal. A ton of people were born in 1991 +/- a few years — there’s way more people that age than ten years older or younger. https://t.co/f1vSFZG1oY https://t.co/JcdYwxOIK0 — PolitiTweet.org

Raising tuition really was a better option for governors than cutting Medicaid or K-12 schools. And given the labor market paying the higher tuition made sense for most students. The policy error was elsewhere — in letting the recession get so bad. https://t.co/f1vSFZG1oY — PolitiTweet.org
