And also, we have very strong evidence that college degrees do have great economic value
Yes. Which is why it's absurd for for people who obtained this valuable asset to demand handouts from people who didn't.
- danaris 4y agoYou are conflating "economic value to the educated" with "value to the economy". In aggregate, having an educated populace is hugely beneficial to society as a whole, which includes economic benefits. This does not translate to commensurate economic benefits to all the individuals who get that education. Our society benefits from these people having an education; therefore, our society should pay for it.
- wolverine876 4y agoIt's not just transactional - i.e., 'we benefit so we pay'; don't let the reductionists frame the debate. We also should do it because people deserve freedom and opportunity. It's the Land of Opportunity, not the land of rapacious capitalism; it's the Land of Hope and Dreams, not of self-dealing.
