The Dept of Education provides only about 10% of the funding for our childrens education. The rest is provided at the state and local level. Curriculum, textbooks, teacher hiring and standards are decided at the state and local level
The US has a hodgepodge of school systems with differing standards. Don't like our schools blame states rights
If that's the case then what the fuck does it actually DO for it's $77 billion?
Almost 2/3 are for Pell Grants. The rest is for aid and incentives to local districts

No matter how you slice it, it ain't the Governments job to create a college bubble... But that won't stop people like you from demanding it, even as that bubble bursts. Good intensions are not better than good ideas, the Founding Fathers had a good idea, you have the good intensions.
If college was that important, then why with more people graduating than ever before in the history of the world has our economy taken a dump on a global scale only comparable to that of the great depression?
