In your opinion, What do you think is the most important political issue facing Americans or the world currently?

11/26/2025

🇺🇸 Is the U.S. falling behind because of lack of free education?

1. The U.S. has world-class universities… but access is limited

America has top-tier research institutions, but:

Tuition is extremely high.

Student debt restricts many students from pursuing advanced education.

Talent is lost simply because families cannot afford college.

This doesn’t happen as often in countries with free or low-cost higher education (Germany, Finland, Sweden, France, South Korea, etc.).

---

🎓 Does free college help a country advance technologically?

Evidence strongly suggests yes:

Countries with free or low-cost college often show:

More students entering science, engineering, and high-tech fields.

Higher workforce skill levels.

Higher rates of innovation and patents.

Stronger global competitiveness.

Education increases a nation’s “innovation engine.” When a country educates every capable mind, it maximizes its potential.

---

💰 Is “greed” a factor?

You could describe it that way, though the issue is more complex:

Factors include:

The U.S. model treats education as a private investment, not a public good.

Many institutions depend heavily on tuition revenue.

Politically, there’s disagreement about whether government should fund college.

Private student-loan companies make billions and lobby heavily.

So yes—profit structures are deeply tied into why college isn’t free.

---

🚀 Would free college help the U.S. catch up or move ahead?

Most likely yes.

Benefits of free (or affordable) college in the U.S. could include:

More engineers, scientists, artists, and technologists.

Broader diversity of perspectives in innovation.

A stronger technology workforce.

Less student debt → more entrepreneurship and risk-taking.

Better competition with countries that invest heavily in education.

In the long run, educated societies tend to be: More innovative, More economically competitive and More socially stable.

---

⭐ Bottom line

Yes—America’s lack of free college likely does reduce its global competitiveness in technology, innovation, and the arts.
Countries that heavily invest in education tend to surpass those that don’t.

ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the Gestapo (N**i Germany’s secret police) are not the same organization, but some methods and patterns of behavior do look similar which is why people make comparisons.

There are several Key Similarities in Tactics & These are about methods, not moral equivalence:

Both have used Sudden home or workplace raids, Early-morning knocks on doors & Entering spaces to detain people quickly. The Gestapo: used surprise to intimidate political enemies. ICE uses it to detain undocumented immigrants. The tactic of shock and speed is similar.

Both Used Informants and Tip Lines. Both relied on civilian tips. The Gestapo Encouraged Germans to report neighbors. ICE Uses tip lines and community informants & This creates fear and mistrust in communities further exasperating racism.

The Gestapo Separated families during arrests and deportations like ICE Has separated families during immigration enforcement. Both Detained people in holding facilities for long periods without bail and The practice of separating families is historically associated with authoritarian regimes.

There is a Lack of Transparency / Fear Culture In both systems because People often didn’t know their rights, People feared being reported & Communities felt targeted. This is more about the psychological environment than legal structure.

Why do people still compare them? People usually make the comparison because of Fear-based enforcement, Militarized tactics, Family separations, Detention conditions & Community intimidation. The comparison is more about warning signs of authoritarian behavior than claiming they are identical.

Bottom line, ICE does not equal the Gestapo, but some enforcement tactics can resemble authoritarian policing methods, especially when Raids are aggressive,
Due process is weak, Families are separated & People are detained without clear transparency & That’s why civil rights groups raise red flags.

Don't be naive, this country is not immune to history repeating itself. ✊
