Ta, Dok. My higher education was almost all self-administered, so I have no student loans to repay. I did go to holistic health school and paid for it. I did borrow some money to do so, and paid it all back. However, I do believe the SAVE act should be saved.

At the University of Oslo, there is no tuition fee except a small semester fee of NOK(600) (US$74).

Sweden, until the early 21st century, provided free education to foreign students but recently introduced fees for students from outside the European community.

Denmark also has universal free education, and provides a monthly stipend, the "Statens Uddannelsesstøtte" to students.

Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Sri Lanka and Uruguay provide free education at all levels, including college and university for citizens.

Well, you can't let the Dems get away with portraying college graduates, scientists, and teachers as "middle class," just because they are, by any definition of the term, instead of "snooty coastal elitists."
