    Well - you’re still making taxpayers pay for the greed and BS of colleges. Go after them instead. Just like you would if you bought a new car that was a lemon - you wouldnt ask taxpayers to bail you out, you’d go after the dealer or mfgr of the car. I dont get this “stick it to the taxpayers” paradigm being pushed here.

    Also - an educated society doesnt have to all be college grads. There are tons of hard-working, successful people that didnt get near a college, or they just went for a few years. I know that many in society still snub their nose at trades blue collar work but guess who actually appears educated now? The kid making $45 bucks an hour as a welder with great benefits or the pissed-off gender studies grad with $200K of debt working at Starbucks? Sorry - Im sick of this “college or you’re doomed” thing. Its been way oversold and they have saddled these kids with massive debt. Make them pay, not taxpayers.
