I’m not really on board with this either. Just stop giving the universities public money. They can get it from alumni and companies - which they do already.

What these universities do is to rob the tax-paying public of the employable graduates of their secondary schools from the many trades they could learn while they earn, jobs that non=taxed sub rosa alien invaders are now accomplishing for lack of a citizen tax-paying labor pool segment from which our children (who should really not be in liberal arts or social professions) are absent.

We lose both ways, especially those on a retired fixed income in which the inflation of the economy is distressingly ballooning.

The ones who in the past between 17 to, say, 22 (or more if entry into a graduate school immediately ensues) wpould have been paying into Social curity or retirement funds, simply now are not contributing, and for this gap, only spending. that's a five-year block of Social Security funding from present earnings (as initially conceived0) that is empty, blank, never to be recovered, and on-going into deeper personal debt.
