No - any sensible society doesn't sell education any more than it sells health. How did it get to be 'his'? The basis of American wealth, for instance, is stealing other peoples land and kidnapping people to work I could go on, generation by generation. Property really is theft.
Hello Flash,
Not if government simply sets the tuition rates. Colleges would be free to accept the rates or not. The ones who do will get all the students. The greedy ones who think they are worth more can charge as much as they like and work with the big financial outfits to continue to place people in crushing debt. I doubt many students will opt for that unless their family is rich and decides to simply pay the exorbitant rates. Just like it is for K-12. People spend thousands to send their kids to designer kindergarten because they want to start that trajectory, and they have big money to burn. But of course, only rich people can afford to do this.

Hello Flash,
So now they tried it and got their curiosity settled. I wonder how many coal miners who are still waiting for 'coal to come back' are going to continue to support Trump. I wonder how many laid off factory workers are going to continue their support. (Yes, despite the rhetoric, factory workers have been laid off.) And even if they all continue to support Trump, he lost the popular vote by 3 million. Many more Democrats sat our the 2016 election out of disgust over Hillary. That won't be an issue this time.

Let's not go off on a weird tangent here.
Wealth is created every day. Examples:
- Mines and forests produce raw materials that are sold to factories.
- Factories produce durable goods that people need or want.
- Builders producing homes for people to buy and live in. The term is "real" estate, meaning that it has lasting value.
Conclusions:
- Therefore wealth is created every day.
- Therefore there is no practical limit to wealth creation.
- Therefore in a voluntary monetary transaction, wealth is not destroyed.
Is there any conclusion here that you disagree with?

The raw materials in mines and forests are turned into wealth by the labour of those who work in them, and some of this wealth is stolen by capitalists.
Factories collect labour, and the labour turns out commodities for sale. Much of the value is stolen by capitalists.
Building workers produce homes for people. The rich try to ensure such homes are only for those thieves with enough money to pay big prices, and steal a large profit from those who do the work.
Your first two conclusions are course correct. As to three, nobody said wealth was destroyed. It is stolen from those who create it. Under a decent society it will be available to all for use as required.
