I have no problem with a government subsidized higher education system. The benefits of living in a society of brain surgeons and rocket scientists are a lot greater than living in one of ditch diggers and bus drivers.
More education means better jobs means greater economic output means higher GDP means better economy means higher living standards for all. I think it's a fine investment. I'd much rather they spend our tax dollars on that instead of the military industrial complex.
