[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IP is engaging in what is called "opportunity hoarding" and if you believe the things coming out of the Brookings Institue is a contributing factor to growing income inequality in America.[/quote]

It is not "opportunity hoarding" to question a system that requires upper middle class Americans to have superhuman self control, so that they can save several times the net value of their home (which they needed a 30 year mortgage to afford) in order to send their kinds to college, when they don't even know in advance if their kid will be college material.  Other nations don't do that.  Look at Canada, which has a great low-cost public university system and almost no private universities.  Most advanced countries are like this.  We also used to have much cheaper state universities, but most state schools are "public" in name only, using tuition for the bulk of their revenue.  Why does the US cling to what are clearly inferior ways of financing public goods like education and health care when there are plenty of examples of ways of doing it better.[/quote]
