Does that mean "Ignore anything outside of your backyard and lead a happier, more meaningful life"?
That argument doesn't seem too relevant to the studen loan issue (except for the peculiar quiz show prize).

BTW, as you undoubtedly know quite well living on the older side of the Pond, in most parts of the world public education is reasonably effective and free - or priced outside of the debt-inducing threshold (yes it means subsidized). Extortionately priced education is an almost exclusive feature of the "land of the free".
