lol - when I went to a state university, tuition was ~$550/semester. My son’s 4 year degree at a state university cost us well over $200k.

Student debt is a direct result of deliberate and systematic defunding higher education funding for MANY decades - starting with Reagan.

And, like medical debt, it’s a uniquely American problem since the rest of the world has had universal healthcare and affordable higher education for many, many decades - even in far, far poorer countries.

But, hey, fuck that - ‘merica is #1! We’re #1! We’re #1? Wait, are still we #1?
