Those who go to school earn a sufficiently high wage premium that they do not require subsidization. End of story.
If they want a budget option they are available.
I see no reason to give future high earners tens of thousands of public dollars and have the public assume all the risk if they fail. Figure it out for yourself or don't go.
The problems have not been solved in other countries. They are just hiding in bloated government spending that benefits only high earners and shifts all the risk to the public. Hard pass.

You destroyed your credibility in record time.
Stop vomiting up tired old talking points that don't address anything I said. You are unfathomably wrong on this, to the point that it's staggering.
Every single data point says the US is the one with a bloated, broken system that puts all the risk on the public and we're about to face a crisis over it.
No other developed country is struggling this badly or facing this much risk from higher education. For reasons I spoonfed to you but you chose to ignore.
Grow up. Pull your head out of the sand. Go study the topic before pushing your pre-canned Boomer rhetoric on others. End of story.

Dude two seconds on Google got me all this research that clearly states college degrees more than pay for themselves. All you could find was one shitty wiki article??
If you're struggling that's a reflection of you. Don't project your incompetence on society.
