This...is a bubble I could get behind 100% - pop it, bring the cost of education back down to reality and limit the degrees to x number of graduates per field per year based on future job availability actuarial estimates. Now we’re talkin...

Sounds like a job for government.

Nutty with a taste of delusion.

That would put the government in charge of predicting the future and awarding those degree slots.

Government action to limit education? You Liberal, you!

HHOK

But seriously, put an end to government incentives, and the market will balance itself out.

...something other than market-driven economic decision-making. Take away the bubble financing that is causing the "rent-seeking behaviors" described in the article and all sorts of miracles can occur: enrollments balanced more closely to the actual job market along with the corollary effect of eliminating on nonsense "degrees" with names that end in "studies". Always follow the money and the truth will become self-evident.
