Why are there tens of millions that can't afford higher education?
Why are people going bankrupt from health expenses?
The USA is just really bad at it. Therefore you need to spend more money just to come up to par with other developed countries. In that case, you need more tax revenue.

- tinduck 9y agoExcept the federal government pumps money into those AAU universities in research grants, therefore they are more prestigious and have better job prospects after you graduate. The system is stupid. But it won't change. You won't see the public university in Memphis or Baltimore get more money federal money than a school like Stanford.
