Exactly once you privatize education only the upper class will be able to afford it. The vouchers will pay for schools up to a point. When it becomes a requirement the schools will bring up their prices and desperate parents will have to pay. The government will then declare vouchers as too costly or a failed program and we will be left with nothing. Look at US healthcare if you need want to see the libertarian dream in action.

- EverywhereTrip 4y agoAlmost literally everything is privatized and people from all segments of society buy stuff. Cars, phones, food, clothing, computers, are all manufactured by private enterprise without being run by the government. They are not just for the elite. The US government spends more money on health care than any other country in the world, and is 4th in terms of the percentage of its budget that goes towards health care. It is hardly a libertarian dream. https://www.statista.com/statistics/281589/countries-with-highest-health-expenditure-as-a-percent-of-gdp/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/281589/countries-with-hi...
- spicymaki 4y agoCars are an interesting point. Average cost of a car is $40k currently (average gas prices is ~$4.68/gallon. We are forced to drive in most places in the US, because there is very little public transit infrastructure. The transfer from public to private has led to expensive transportation, high carbon emissions, and rampant obesity. Now we cannot imagine any alternatives and private industry won't allow public alternatives.
