A smart country would not require its citizens to go into massive debt in order to obtain an education. A smart country would provide its education without direct out-of-pocket cost to all citizens, because a smart country realizes that having as many of your citizens as educated as possible is a massive boon to both that country's society and economy, and it will reap benefits greater than the expense.
America is largely run by corporatists and Christians, neither of whom wish to have an educated America.
