the people arguing that there should be free stuff really need to hit rock bottom so that they can learn something new like economics

Germany has 100% free education and a very decent healthcare and social security system established. Germany reported a budget surplus of 25 billion Euro (28 billion USD).
That means Germany actually made a profit.

'Free'

Germans pay a flat 40% social security tax plus high income tax on top of that and a 19% sales tax.
