Americans aren’t just dumb, the are legislatively committed to staying that way. If college costs more than the average wage in the US and is free in Germany (even to Americans), year after year after year, how the hell is that not going to manifest itself in very visable ways? Compare like four generations of a family who went to college to another family that worked 65 hours a week at three jobs instead of seeing their kids...it’s just going to get exponentially worse every generation...and clearly has. I wish Americans could drive like Germans too. That’s the end of my rant. Thanks for listening.

Nothings free, Germans just pay through higher income taxes. If you can hustle in America, put yourself through Uni and take out a government loan you can have a far better standard of living as a professional in America. You can have a big house, a couple of big cars, boats, all the toys you want. Americans just have to want it more. The German model just breeds laziness and mediocrity where at the top of your profession you'll probably live in modest townhouse, drive a sensible car and take one holiday every two years. You might have a hobby too.
