Well, let's scale that. "Give me a dollar"... that scales to I make about one dollar per year to pay for everything I and my family need that year... and you don't get why people have to save up to get that lump sum dollar?

"Give me a dollar, and I'll give ten
dollars to your kids"
"I don't have a dollar."
"Oh. Well, sucks to be you."

If I'm going to turn your dollar into ten, you should be
borrowing the dollar, not saving it.

That presumes that such a level of borrowing is possible.
Remember that most of these parents are mortgaged up to their eyebrows and running high levels of credit card debt already. They simply don't have the wherewithal to borrow the quarter- to full-million it'll take to put the kid through. Sure, in an ideal world you're right, borrowing pays off in the long term. But in the real world such cash flow isn't always (or even very often) possible.
