That unwillingness to consider, "Can I pay for it?" is why the U.S. is in such a state of financial downfall right now, if we can't currently afford it, we still think we should have it by someone else paying for it and we keep on teaching the next generation that's how it should be. That's a poor education in my eyes and sets the next generation up for failure.

That's not how educational finance works.

You *do* pay for it.

Lots of usury is involved, too.
