(Excerpt posted by author)
Written by an American MBA expat living in Germany.
Germany has just joined other nations of the Continental European Union to eliminate all university tuition, as a human right. So it is that we find ourself as part of the neo
feudalist American state that has left Americans mired by contrast in $1.2 trillion in student loan debt, in what must be described as state supported student loan slavery. It should further be noted that the modus operandi of student loan enslavement is consistent with the anti-democratic model of what may only be described as the United States of oligarchy, where a recent Princeton university study, that has since gone viral from Princeton, has declared the United States is no longer a democracy, and is in fact become an oligarchy. To which this article notes it is an oligarchy that has mired the American people in $1.2 trillion of student loan debt. This has become so onerous for the American economy to bear that it is now become a threat to the US economy itself.

Germans see their government as THEIR government, existing to serve them, as ours is meant to.
