Free to US citizens would be a better policy, the state investing in its own people.

  Granted! Now US universities consist of 99% immigrants/people on student visas. As long as you let universities act like for-profit businesses, their profits will be the only thing they optimize for.

    Has that happened in countries with similar policies?

      No. It's a disaster. The poor pay for the richest to go to public universities. See Brazil. There are more low-income people in private universities (with private or private/public loans) than in public universities.

        Source?

        This is really not a big thing nowadays in Brazil because if "quotas" in public university. This WAS a thing without the quotas, though.

  May be an unpopular opinion here, but education should be a market just like anything else and the government should put its thumb on the scales as infrequently as possible.
