They make it so everyone is supposed to go to college - they own the colleges and indoctrinate our children - they reward the faculty with big salaries that resulted in students taking more loan money that they offered and now my children will pay for it.

This would be swell - my kids can spend their adult life paying for art history degrees for some schmuck working at starbucks.

What about my children’s future? They will have to pay for all this crap, but this is where our nation finds itself.

“A democracy is always temporary in nature;
it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover
that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates
who promise the most benefits from the public treasury,
with the result that every democracy will finally collapse
due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship”

- Alexander Tytler 1787

I would modify that to be “Democracies with large urban populations.”
