in many ways I feel this is better. I know some poor folks aren't going to be able to study what they want but most countries identify these people and provide them scholarships if they are truly gifted. However, when the government grants this privilege to just everyone, then the providers of the services (the colleges) have very little inclination to provide a product at a fair price.

when i think about how my university was $15,000 a year (without living expenses) I wonder how they justify that. I guess they needed more statues.
