The answer of course is that society should fund education in the same way as it does roads, bridges, national parks, security, governance, and other social goods. With tax dollars.
- tantalor 8y agoAll that stuff is funded with borrowing, not taxes.
- Matticus_Rex 8y agoHow do you think the loans get paid back, exactly? It's funded with borrowing because it makes no sense to take in enough tax revenues to build something in a single year when it's going to get used for twenty.
- tantalor 8y agoHow are the loans paid back? Easy, more borrowing!
- rayiner 8y agoOur roads and bridges are in shambles, while our universities are the best in the world.
- dane-pgp 8y agoIs that because millionaires are prepared to give large donations to universities (especially if their kids get a place at the university in return), while they're not so generous when it comes to funding roads and bridges which are used by poor people?
