Paying back a loan requires modest effort and short-term sacrifice.

Why not just vote in a socialist democrat and have the government
pick up the tab?

Great idea. Good thinking. It could work just like the GI bill after
WW2. The Feds took in 7 times as much as they paid to educate
returning soldiers from those people's additional tax payments over
their lifetimes. It was a terrific investment, with great ROI.



GIs who served our country earned the education. But we were

a bunch of entitled, special, helicopter-parented kids. Try to keep

Sorry trumptard. I mistook you fopr a person who could actually think.

You don't think a few years of fighting the nazis or the japs was
worth more than 4 years of our average "everyone is a winner" high
school?

I think that an educated public benefits everyone.

Depends on what the education involves.

If you want people to have good jobs and be productive members of our
society, then you want them to be educated,

Depends on what the education involves.

especially in the current high tech world.

It doesnt need as much education when machines do it for you.

If you prefer people who cannot find a job to support themselves, and
are therefore more likely to be stealing your stuff, then don't educate
them.

Lack of education isnt the reason they steal your stuff.

I would much rather live in a world of educated productive people.

Sure, but its less clear that education has much to do with that.

As I said before, the US did very well with it's GI bill.

Yes, but its a very different world out there now for kids just out of
school.

It got $7 for every $1 it spent in increased taxes over the lifetimes of
those it educated.

But its less clear what would have happened taxes wise without the GI bill.

If a country wants to lead in any field, it needs to educate those that
will work in it.

Thats very arguable indeed with the fields
that the USA does lead in like technology.

And clearly the current system works fine in that area.

In fact its very arguable whether education had much at all
to do with what Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg etc have produced.

If it prefers to scare people away from education with life long debt, or
exclusion on other basis, it is not likely to do as well.

That clearly hasnt happened with technology in the USA,
And isnt the reason that far less manufacturing is done in
the USA than there used to be.
