I'm quarreling with it. And especially the continued assertion that
"graduates will earn X quillion more pounds over their working lifetime"
as the incentive to get 50% into HE by 2010. Seems to me based entirely
on the argument discredited and disallowed by the FSA. Past performance
is not a useful guide to future performance.
You working for the Student Loan Company, Ray?
