Agreed. I think that changing the high schools would be the best way to go about this, instead of finding ways of paying massive amounts to colleges.

Why not just make colleges cheaper?

I would argue that kids in America have a much better life than say kids in Japan or South Korea, with all night cram schools.

And in the end, the innovation in the world is coming out of America not Japan and South Korea, so at least to some extent it must be working.

A lot of innovation occurs in Asia.

Also, South Korea has a similar college funding issue as the USA with rising tuition. However it's blunted in Asia because parents are expected to pay for it so the loans are more bearable. Pay and status tends to be seniority based so the burden doesn't fall on the recent grad living at home.
