"Free enterprise/big-corp solving the cost of education/college issue when our government couldn't will be a big win for the laissez-faire folks."
I'm sure you'd find quite a few Libertarians that would like the idea, and see it as a good "proof-of-concept".
On the other hand, you'll find Libertarians like me. We're pissed off because the government is taking our tax-money on the pretense of fixing these issues, and has nothing to show for it. These are all problems that we expect to be fixed using our money, and yet it's not happening. It just get's dragged along, year after year, election after election. Meanwhile, millions and billions (or whichever amount) is spent on useless endeavors such as foreign intervention/meddling, and wars.

- zo1 12y agoAre you sure about that? I find people are incredibly hostile towards Libertarian concepts and ideas. However, the idea of simply holding government accountable for stuff that they already keep professing to want to fix seems like something a whole lot more people would agree on.
