The many successful countries around the world with socialized education are counter-example proof that this thinking is flawed.
If you are referring to certain privileged european countries compared to others, the piper has yet to be paid… unless you think negative real interest rates on government debt will last forever with no repercussions…
When reality doesn't fit your version of the facts it means you are probably wrong....not that your version just isn't right yet.
This is complete fear mongering with no basis in reality.
