I believe it is because a lot of americans live by the moral belief that people should become successful all on their own without any help. We are also considerable debt, we simply do not have the resources or funding for the amount of education that is currently accessible at this time, moving forward it will only get increasingly more expensive. It would be easier to restrict people who can not afford to pay for the materials necessary for education instead of providing them with the materials they need regardless if you have money. I disagree with these reasons because America was founded on the ideals that every person was created equal, regardless if history has stuck to this idea. Giving everyone access to education would guarantee that every soul in this nation has the same opportunity as others.
Subsistence farming is a type of farming in which the harvests are used only to feed the family and support the needs of the family. In this type of farming, there is little to no harvest left for trade.
