I agree this deal is terrible. It does nothing to reign in favored special interests, take a look at point 2, “[the deal]….. is designed to protect crucial investments like aid for college students;” If there is one thing I know the government wastes money on it is student aid. It just allows law schools to charge more without any additional benefits to students, the government or society.
