Wisconsin's Grothman: "I was a little bit appalled when you say education is a wise investment."

His mouth opens. Nonsensical statements come out of it. Sometimes I think just listening to this man could make you stupid.

Grothman also told Reilly to “broaden your reading” of the public’s view of four-year degrees, calling it a “devastating investment.”

“For average kids today, it is not a wise investment except for some select majors,” Grothman said.

The article includes a chart showing average earnings for various education levels.

by impressive margins...

does this mean that the district he represents is as stupid as he is?

this level of ignorance is frightening...to think there is a majority (of voters in his district) that subscribed to this nonsense.

picked up better jobs with higher levels of education below the masters and doctorate level, but can it still be said for those entering college today?

I'd sure like to see comparisons of people who are in their thirties or forties, and not just from the larger group that contains people who did get a good return on their educations when they graduated four or five decades ago.
