11. Excellent point

Also, more generally speaking, how is the US supposed to compete with countries that have cheap/free higher education? We're currently being squeezed by a surplus of low skill *and* high skill labor, which always drives down wages and benefits.

I can already here a free trade proponent saying "Sure we lose some jobs, but what's the alternative? The economy is global and we have no choice."

So aggravating.
