Germany is a wonderful cherry-picked example, but it is hardly the only country in Europe to pay for higher education - many of the others aren't in such great financial shape. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1976724,00.html http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1976724,00.htm... I would love to see higher education made accessible to everyone with the ability to do so, and would love to see college cost a lot less, even if it is too late for me (6 figures of student loan debt). But just saying 'the government should pay for it look at Germany' is a far too simplistic outlook, especially in the face of crippling yearly deficits that aren't showing any signs of going away under either party's 'leadership'.
