Democracy requires an educated population. If you want to live in a democratic society, then subsidizing education is pretty much a requirement.

It's the amount/level of subsidized education that is up for debate, not education in general.

That might be the case, but to me it's not much different than saying that it is the amount of democracy that is up for debate.

People who want to end democracy rarely say so, it is always just "a little less than it is now".

Same for education, where would you draw the line?
