This is not true.  There is no free education anywhere.  That is not possible.  

As for a budget surplus, no, that's not profit  That just means they stole more money from the taxpayers than they should have.  

SPIN!

You don't have to pay for education in Germany. Sure taxes will be spent here, but there is no extra fee or anything like it for it.

 

I am not saying Germany is the greatest country on this planet, even though I reall like living here and think it is a great country to raise my children. I will probably never leave it.
I am just pointing out that there is a way to let people have free access to education and health care AND have a great and strong economy at the same time.

 I don't know much about Germany in particular. But, I do have a basic understanding of economics.  I know that it is a 100% Stone Cold fact that there is no such thing as free education.

What you are saying is that education is funded by other people, rather than by the student.  That's not even in the same ballpark as free. It just means that other people are picking up the tab for your education.
