I've often thought that subsidizing higher education would lubricate the U.S. economy.
- lsc 18y agohigher education in the US is heavily subsidised. The meagre fees that the lower colleges charge are waived if you are poor, and at that point all you need to cover is food/books/rent.
- rw 18y agoI mean more subsidization, so that changing careers is a real option for most people.
- lupin_sansei 18y agoThe subsidy money has to come from somewhere (taxes and/or inflation), so you would add friction to the US economy elsewhere.
- rw 18y agoThat argument would hold more water if the U.S. budget wasn't so padded with fat and wars.
