NOTHING is free. Like all other things, someone has to pay for it, while its poorly managed by the government and most others abuse it because its there to abuse.
Higher education is HIGHLY overrated. Our economy is driven by high school and college dropouts... Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Peter Jackson, David Geffen .... etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. A very large % of the worlds richest people either didn't go, dropped out or didn't graduate college.
We have some of the shittiest education in the world and are the only world economic super power. Our current educational system churns out retards like it was a point of national pride.
Highly unrealistic to attempt to correlate economic and financial success with higher education.
