[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3233843, member: 29267"] I know what you’re talking about. But the negative consequences aren’t absent if you only use government to manipulate the education market for some areas of study. Government should not be involved in higher education. If there’s a long-term shortage of any profession whose services are in high demand, the most likely root cause is government (burdensome and unnecessary regulation, economic manipulation, etc.). So why add more government to the mix to try to fix the problem the government caused in the first place? Government should not be funding science that doesn’t directly contribute to the exercise of government’s core functions. Government should not be providing healthcare services to anyone except those who receive it as a benefit of public employment (e.g. military) or to limit the impact of a public health emergency (e.g. offering vaccination for an epidemic disease to those who choose to be vaccinated). We should never have government-provided healthcare or government-conducted science as a public service, even if it saves money, because the non-monetary costs of government being involved in those things are devastating to a free society. But the fact is, even if it looks like it would save money, it wouldn’t. Increasing government involvement in any activity is almost a guarantee of increasing the economic cost of that thing versus the cost if government involvement were decreased. Trust the market, not government “solutions.” [/QUOTE]
