excuse me this isn ' t a satire article <| sep |> That song has a great beat <| sep |> here ' s the problem with school tuition schools charge high tuition . The student borrows that , plus living expenses , from the US government American taxpayers . Students don ' t give a shit how much tuition costs bc if they can borrow it , they ' re young and dumb and as long as they ' re approved they ' ll worry about it later plus that ' s what everyone else is doing , who are they to change it ? Now universities have the power to set the price they get paid in tuition by the US government , and students don ' t care till it ' s too late , so you see university presidents making a mil $ a year , coaches making more , and facilities rivaling spas and world class olympic villages . Bottom line problem schools play with OPM other people ' s money . See law schools for a more extreme example .
