Under-invest now, reap what you sow later

The most over-rated man in New Zealand politics, Steven Joyce, has come up with a bright idea: let’s increase the fees for getting high skill degrees in areas where there are big skill shortages.

Honestly, what is this clown thinking? Increasing the cost of studying for medical degrees, which are already horrendously expensive, by raising the fee caps is madness.

This is typical short-term National thinking: save pennies now, and pay the big bucks later (once Joyce is safely out of politics) when heavily indebted and highly skilled graduates are forced to go overseas to pay off their debt in a reasonable time frame.
