NPR’s Chris Arnold reports that graduate students are anxious about being hit with a massive tax increase being considered in Congress. Arnold speaks with a number of PhD candidates at MIT, including Ryan Hill. “Hill and other MIT students say the tax proposal is ill-conceived. So do economists, who say it would discourage Americans from seeking advanced degrees at a time when the country badly needs a better educated workforce,” says Arnold.
