Funny, the US should be the worse place for startups then since the government doesn't pay for people to go to universities there.

Notice many people working at tech startup in silicon valley are either A) Rich already and went to Ivy League or could afford a good university education, or 2) Foreigners who got their education elsewhere.
Well, before the student loan craze it was not difficult to find an affordable university in the US.

Certainly not Ivy League, but not bad.

E.g.: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/education/2004-09-08-tui...

Today an Ivy League tuition year will set you back around 40k (possibly more) http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/...

They still pay until high school.
