Summing up the Higher Education farce

Here's a link to quite a good comic blog on what we should do if we want to save money in Higher Education. As I've explained again and again (Public Policy and the Past, passim), present proposals for England's universities are very, very expensive.

So how to reduce government spending and the deficit? Simple: leave things as they are, since the present 'reforms' will cost the taxpayer GBP5bn a year to finance student debt...

You couldn't make it up, really.
