A simple argument, made plainly. The cost of college in this country is a policy choice, not a fact of life, and it can be chosen differently.
Hawk's frame is historical. A public university education was once within reach on a summer job and modest tuition. Over decades, state funding per student was cut, tuition rose to fill the gap, and the difference was moved onto students in the form of debt that now follows people for much of their adult lives. None of that was inevitable. Each step was a decision.
Other wealthy countries decided otherwise, funding higher education so their graduates start without a mortgage-sized balance hanging over them. Hawk's point is not that those systems are flawless, only that they demonstrate the choice exists.
The money question tends to end the conversation, so he takes it head on. A country that can find funding for tax cuts and defense can fund education if it decides the return is worth it. Whether it does is about priorities, not arithmetic.
An educated population is not a cost to manage. It is the entire point.
