So, who is going to provide that? Govt. or the market? I believe market can easily finance education but it needs enforcement support from the Govt. The way to do this to allow students and their financiers to enter agreements that will allow students to repay their financiers through a share in their future earnings. IRS can act as a collection agency for the financiers and can also use tax withholding. Once we do that then role of Govt. in education will be reduced and Govt. will only enforce contracts just like it does for mortgages, stock market and so many other legal transactions and contracts.
