Re: The US government giving money to colleges so that they teach people?
Actually if your government doesn't give money, then it probably is communism as someone is not "equal" (or at least in theory right).
There is probably more tax funded colleges in the US than any other as every state seemingly has 50+ colleges that are "branches" and/or "accredited institutes". You'd think it would simply be the colleges with the state's initials in its name, maybe joined with a directional reference (N/E/S/W), but the lattice runs much deeper.
What's great is that these colleges are tax funded, but then a creditor comes in and puts the student in the hole along with the tax portion thus double dipping the student on the taxes, meanwhile the government (tax payers) take all the risk. Since you can't claim bankruptcy on it (directly), it's the perfect educational BUSINESS model as all 350,000,000 taxpayers make somebody rich! I'm not implying that all education is a scam, but maybe the educations that create "government student loans" are.
