It’s even worse than that. If you go work for the government they will pay off your government subsidies they give out. All government all the time.Government subsidies is what has caused tuition to rise. Eliminate subsidized loans, and watch the tuition drop.
It is the government subsidies of the tuition (via the loans) that has allowed colleges to charge $50,000 a year (or more), and build apartment-style luxury housing, have multiple restaurants on campus, have water park structures and resort-level amentities.
When I went to college, I lived in a cinderblock dorm room (I fixed it up quite pretty, if I do say so myself), walked down the hall to a shared bathroom, and ate in the dining hall. And I LOVED it all!
We need to go back to the basics.
