@collappsar @deprecated_ii Apparently "higher education" qualifies as an export when foreign students come to the US. I recall that tuition for foreign students is higher, thus the motivation for having more of them enroll. But I have to wonder how they can afford that when prices are already high for the US citizens already here. Is there some underhanded US tax dollars being funneled in some way? Or do they just incur a bunch of debt that we have no guarantee gets paid off?
