Does it mean he will have to pay for it all his life? Ask Spaniards how they feel about the constant brain drain.

Maybe they don't care so much, but they could finance other things. Just as he's free to vote, he's free to move to another society.

Chileans currently face this disagreement. They are discussing raising tax levels to pay for more free college and to pardon a chunk of student debt. This is quite unfair to those who have already paid, and even worse for those who took on debt and haven't fallen behind, as now they will pay forever in the form of taxation.

Not everybody likes socialism, pal.

If people are taking advantage of something without retribution, it's time for the society that enables such things to get their priorities in order. Until recently, anyone could study for free in Argentina, even non-resident foreigners. A country with worse problems like food insecurity and hyperinflation was effectively funding college for foreigners, with no retribution needed. Truly a mess if you ask me. I'm glad they fixed it.
