pros and cons of for profit education

[dfrecore]

That also goes to support my point: the government (state as well as federal) is too much in the business of education. Federal government gives people access to loans, and State government gives out money to the schools.

This keeps the money flowing to the schools in a never-ending spigot. They can't figure out how to spend the money fast enough! New swimming complexes, basketball arenas, dorms with granite counters and travertine flooring, the list goes on and on. If that spigot (loans) turned off, they would be forced to act like people with common sense.

Why should the states spend money subsidizing the craziness too? The states that DO continue to subsidize it aren't getting a lot for their money. Same number of students are dropping out as before, and prices continue to rise.
