they use the tight purse strings to control the public. it's based on a fallacious econoic argument that many good people believe
good news, it is wrong so there is no danger in gettig rid of those bad beliefs
if you want to crippl eyour future, saddle young adults with massive debt and no healthcare
that might be the POINT of our bad policies, to keep the elites in power
would not surprise me
I personally can testify to the failing of the public education system that the government has financed. You are forced to comply with state regulations
how well public school does varies wildly based on the administration per district
we are arguing for financing higher education, and removing the state/muni burden for education
In regards to healthcare, I agree that the system we have for it now is utterly stupid and needs fixed, but not by the government financing it all.
policy fights over WHAT to teach and how can be done locally
health caer has major externalities that are beyond the scope of normal market functions
including disease outbreaks and monitoring
the US prefers medicare for all than a british style NHS
you put the healthcare spending on fedgov balance sheet, then let local health networks handle the care
similar to how military industrial complex works
the health outcomes give the discipine to the system, easy to monitor
same way we can monitor quality control of an aircraft part for a rhino
or how the USMC School of Infantry is performing, etc
the illusio of a totally 'private' sphere is just that
Alright, let’s focus on higher education. I don’t like the system just as much as you don’t. Debts, loans, and all of that other stuff is horrible. Which is why I focus on creating a better, lower-priced education system. I have a plan to fix education without getting the government involved.
limited liability is a massive gov intervention nobody cries about because it 'benefits' them, it's baked in
the lowest price for the USER is zero, which also adds productivity to the society
what education costs from operative standpoitn depends on what you are teaching and what outcomes you are looking for
society wide, we already spend a ton on education, it' sjust done in a sloppy fashion. single payer fixes that issue, but then the education outcomes are still handled institutionally
the fallacy is in assuming colleges need ot compete on 'price' versus education quality
many of the fixes for education have this asssumption baked in that price competition in education will result in quality outcomes, but that's confusing the nature of education, which is a longer term investment that works similar to 'equity'
not manufacturing
the metaphor in their head is a factory that churns out manufactured 'graduates'
I focus on teaching people to think and to be creative. A gift that comes naturally for young people, but gets numbed as you grow older. I believe that if someone has an idea that they pursue, they will learn more then sitting in a classroom, doing homework, and performing random experiments.
im not a teacher, i have no idea on what methods are best, but the gov should finance whatever the student choice is
something like a GI Bill for All to go along with medicare for all
i dont think everyody has a natural gift fo creativity. some people are more stalwart, bean counters. we have all types of neurologies
very different subject than fiscal policy however
I believe that my plan would pull out government funding, work well for every bright student (rich or poor), and still be profitable.
'profitable' should not be the goal
low quality / high cost can give you profits
still bad for society
I also believe that everyone is bright in their own ways, and everyone is creative in their own way
again, education is not about manfacturing a product that gets a good price, thats, student graduates are not in a spot market that the facility is selling
