Well, to literally answer the OP's question "So, am I a meanie?" I would say: Yes. Yes you are. I would say paying for drivers' ed., as well as beginners' and any tests is all part of the expense of parenting a teenager. In fact, I consider it an investment in their future autonomy AND safety. I can understand not paying for certain things as a parent, but, this isn't like buying a brand new fall wardrobe - this is a basic life skill. Pay for your daughter to get her licence and let her practice, practice, practice in your vehicle. It's part of your stewardship of getting her to adulthood. But that is just my opinion. Since you asked.
