So many progressive/socialist ideas sound good on the surface, but end up overlooking the associated costs and trade offs with implementing the idea.

For example, every should get a college degree and be backstopped by federally guaranteed student loans. What could go wrong?

Now we have a rising generation who have *mostly* worthless pieces of paper and student loans they'll never be able to pay back. Meanwhile the US doesn't have enough high skill tradesman to build or repair anything at a reasonable cost.

The hardest thing for many to accept is that things have a way of sorting themselves out if you don't interfere and let the market sort things out.
