We’ve starved one of the glories of the United States - public higher education - to pour money into a bottomless put: E&S education. This isn’t to say that waste does not exist in public higher education; it does and should be rooted out. But we could swamp E&S education with a tidal wave of money and never see any results. But if money is put into public higher education - as has been shown in many states - the results can be spectacular.
I wish that was true. Government colleges receive direct taxpayer subsidies and also benefit from taxpayer subsidized student loan programs.
What "glories" do you speak of?
