depends on the sector. Finance is toast right now. Engineering and science are doing well.

yes. MBAs add little to no value when there is no bubble in an economy.

dumb.

If this isn't a long signal I don't know what is....

No, you're not crazy, but I wouldn't call it socialism quite yet. It's more like no other bank except the Treasury is large enough to do something like this.
