I agree that personal responsibility is important and both things can be true. I also think anyone who believes our taxes are going to go down if we don’t bail students out is delusional. With that belief, I’d rather my taxes directly improve the lives of tens of thousands of people than funnel more money into defense contractors, poorly run construction companies that can’t build infrastructure, and other already wealthy people’s pockets who aren’t actually returning what I think is enough value to the country for what we’re paying.
