We valued the idea of going to college, yes.
What we failed to do was value the accessibility of college.
Anyone who had a social security and blood pulse could go to college and that's what happened.
1/3 failed out,1/3 doing jobs which don't require a college degree.
1/3 benefited to varying degree.
Do you think we needed note millennials in college.
The problem is that there are not enough well paying jobs to support this "educated" population esp with a ton of debt.
China created a booming solar industry by subsidizing it heavily. We can do that too with other industries, and the subsidy can come in the form of trades education.
Obama subsidized solar too... What do we have to show for it?
Again, why should impoverished taxpayer subsidize the capex of property owner? In free entperise and private capitalist society why is we paying here?
