I have absolutely no issue with private schools charging whatever the hell they want. Why should a publicly funded university require that individuals be indebted for decades in order to better themselves (and society at large)? It doesn’t benefit the student. It doesn’t benefit the taxpayer. It doesn’t even benefit the school. It benefits a small group of people who profit off of the whole thing. Look at California pre-Regan. It worked. The GOP didn’t like people getting educated so they blew it up and started this propaganda campaign that people ought to pay for being educated. We do pay. It’s called taxes. The people profiting off this system don’t want to pay their taxes so they’ve pawned their responsibility off on the rest of us.
Education benefits us all. We should ALL have access. The desire to control people by strapping them down with debt should be completely severed from education.
