Congratulations on your son’s great achievements. Many on FR amaze me in that they rail against government, but have no problem sending their kids to government schools like University of MD. It is an obnoxious thought to me that we trust the government to not be self-promoting with their propaganda. And then the additional fact that you are asking your neighbor to support your expenses for education with his or her government coerced taxes. I know, I know, you paid all your life and you are finally going to get something for it. Education pays for its self, you will pay more taxes because of your education than it cost. Good for you, keep telling yourself that. Using that logic the government should be in healthcare and they should be providing health club memberships; why not? Plus it gives you a government run football team to root for. See how your same logic holds up when you apply it to other parts of government and liberty.
I didn't create the system. However, I must live within it.
I'm against government-run health care, but if I'm forced by law into it, I'll try to obtain the best health care for my family through the system.
That said, those who see no difference between being forced into government-run health care, and availing oneself of state-sponsored higher education (where there are many thriving and competing private choices) are overly reductionist in their thinking.
