IMHO when government student loans were conceived it was a means that had long term implications far beyond the original intent. It bothers me that so many cockroach schools are taking government money without any accountability.
It is "dumbing", and "with out" should actually be "without". Considering the shortness of the post it certainly validates the idea that there is a "problem with education at all levels".

VWEHX is not a short-term fund. It's the index fund representative of the HY peer group to which they're assigned. The Vanguard fund, like the majority of the peer group is intermediate term and far more volatile than the STHY funds we profile.
