      There’s no free lunch. The problem is the university systems are detached from market forces. A degree should only be worth an amount proportional to its earning potential. There’s far too many degrees and departments that are completely useless.

      Most European countries have free education. As Americans we have been inundated with capitalism and told it's common sense but it is a construct. No reason to represent humans from education all that our system does is deny it to anyone who cannot afford it. Prices for school have more than doubled while the minimum wage goes down. There has been a 300% increase in CEO earnings, but housing for us has gone from 250k to 400k in just four years. America is well past it's golden years and it's people like these folks who have the pull you up by the bootstrap mentality which has been shown to reflect the desire of religious institutions to have more access to the poor than the government. Many countries do things differently and better. We aren't the best and that archaic idea is destroying our future

Then if you actually taxed the people hoarding wealth and resources, we could tackle practically any problem that requires more resources to fix.
