Perhaps you spread the cost over an entire society where everyone pays for someone else's "free" education even if they have no kids getting the "free" college education.
You're OK with that ? You got scammed. Hilarious.
Right. That's why the US has the bestest and biggliest school system on the planet. Where teachers need to fund their own lesson materials and buy pens and paper for their students bcause nobody gives a rat's a$# unless they got money and go to private school.
The good ol' US of A. 'Freedom' and nothing but potholes.
