What grade did you get in reading comprehension? I said our system of higher education is fucked up. Having the "best" schools is great but it needs to be assessable. Tuition is ridiculously high, and is getting higher, and student loan debt has surpassed credit card debt. Until Obama put a stop to it, big banks were actually making high-interest school loans to students, and if the student defaulted on the loan, the taxpayers picked up the tab! All the profit, none of the risk. Unbelievable.

All the school debt is putting a drag on the economy. It's a big, multifaceted fucking mess.

So yeah, I do call it "fucked up".
