>Seem you have a very inflated view of the programs... just how much debt are you attempting to justify?

I agree with them and I had 0 debt. Making higher education free was one of the few things I think the government back home actually didn't drop the ball on

Apparently it's done wonders for a bunch of industries

Well like with many things. Context matters. here we are talking about the dysfunctional schooling system of the US. Other nations have different style of education that may be actual education.

There are also aspects and some intuitions in the US worth it. But they are few and far between, and becoming more rare as the institutions in the US move away from actual education, and more towards political based goals

I for one didn't know the political views of my professors -- it simply never came up.

That said, college students are adults and can be exposed to different viewpoints without worry. IMO students are influenced politically vastly more by fellow students than professors.
