It's funny, isn't it? The richest country on earth, in the history of the world, and yet everything is too expensive. Can't afford higher education, can't afford health care, can't afford good basic education. And all these things are possible in quite a few other countries, makes you think what exactly is going on over there.

Forza Europe!

 

[Enron]

We have free schooling for everyone

Without government mismanagement i might add, we could pay a lot less for other things.

We also have free water and healthcare.

It's not free. You pay taxes into it.

Any country that freaks out over a movement from pure Capitalism to the mid-point between Socialism and Capitalism doesn't Really had a lot Going On if you get me Martin

Think of it this way: pull the plug on all government loans and subsidies on education, and you immediately drive down student tuitions by about 50%.

And California is bankrupt. Maybe they should shut down the public schools to save a little money, eh?

It's our right as Americans.

We pay a general tax, but we don;t have to Pay specifically for them

 

[Enron]

Whoops!

I can't remember what I had written. So now my voice is of an aging sea-farer from Bristol who owns a peg leg.

Just wait 10-15 years until your Hegemony has been successfully challenged by Russia the EU AND China, then we'll see

Umm, no. You have a lot of problems ranging from moral hazard to possible situations like the one we have now in the US where we are on the brink of default as a nation.

Mixing the two causes far too many problems.

yo yo yo

Never-the-less they still get "paid" for. Which I don't think many people over here acutally understand.

No-no-no Andrew. Europe is the Mary Poppins of the world. Practically perfect in every single way.

That was sarcasm holmes.

Hegemony is in my vocabulary, but thanks for the definition anyway.

not too expensive, you go to school you get govt backed loans, meaning you pay for what you take. whats california got to do with this? and yes if a school is mismanaged it does close down, only logical

It's really very redundant for people to counter "it's free" with "you have to pay for it". If the word free is going to mean anything at all, we have to make a distinction between something that is offered gratis at a certain time versus not.

Of course nothing is free and never has been. When you go get water from the stream you pay in kilojoules. Energy is conserved.

The question is who pays and when. A student facing a massive tuition fee is not particularly well positioned to pay that exorbitant fee. Therefore paying it in taxes when he has an income makes a hell of a lot more sense to me.
