Would you KNOW if you were sold something under false pretenses? When your doctor prescribes you some meds, do you pore over every ingredient that went into it? Do you go to the meat processing plant and personally watch the cows being ground up into your cheeseburger? Do you go to the Indian sweatshop and personnally inspect your child's toys on the assembly line? Standards and regulations exist so you and I as customers can safely purchase day-to-day items without being an *expert* in that field.

We aren't talking about things like prescribing meds which, if not regulated, could kill you. We are talking about something that costs money. If they swindle me, the only harm is that I'm out that money. There's a huge difference between making sure companies are safe with their products and selling an overpriced item to an idiot.


The GI Bill exists because integration of veterans into the civilian workforce was deemed important enough to spend taxpayers' dollars on. If a school uses that money, it needs to guarantee that the money is being spent towards that intended use. If I fail a class, I need to reimburse the VA. By the same logic, if the school fails to meet the standards set forth, they should also be held accountable. I disagree. The school is held accountable because if they don't provide a good service then they don't get people paying to go to the school. If people continue to go to the school, then it is their own fault. That's why some schools can get away with charging ridiculous prices (more ridiculous than normal) and still get people to attend. Because of the perception of a top quality service they provide. If it's not something that is going to affect someones health or safety, the gov needs to stay out.
