However, is that so bad?

This way, American universities have large amounts of funds available to provide the best education, best facilities, hire the best professors and that's why America simply has the best universities worldwide and it is paid by their students?

It also mostly only paid by students who can afford it. Students from weaker social backgrounds only have to pay a small fraction of the normal tuition fees.

As well, 77% of people with student loans have less than $40,000 in debt and 57% have below $20,000 in debt. $20,000 can be paid off within 2 years with a normal graduate job if one wants to pay them off early.
