College is free or very low cost to students in many European and Asian countries. Their tax-payers are willing to fund education because they feel it is an essential investment in their future and their economy. I think the U.S. could learn from their example. We need to invest in our people. The cost to go to college has skyrocketed in the past 40 years in the U.S., making college inaccessible to millions of our bright young people. We are paying for that short-sightedness.
We give away huge amounts of tax money to corporations and Wallstreet in the form of bail-outs, subsidies, and tax-breaks. Also crooked military contractors loot our treasury. That is a very poor use of our national wealth. I want my tax money to go to making college affordable to low-income Americans.

@badminton the US did at one thing me. In the 1960s I went to college for $8 per semester. Then the US started moving to the right. It is now so conservative, I can't see how we will ever see the investment.
