I’ve heard that the costs of college have risen far more than the rate of inflation in recent decades.

And that a key reason for this is because of the availability of student loans.

It might sound paradoxical, but, the easier availability of student loans compared to past decades, is a key reason why the costs of college have risen so dramatically.

What you’re saying is true. You can also apply what you said to soaring medical prices using the same principle.

[LIConFem]

It’s not at all paradoxical. The deepest pockets always get picked first.

That’s exactly what it is, uncle moneybux is guaranteeing those loans for students. Schools are more than happy to enroll those students even if they need to create (more) useless majors for the other side of the bell-curve.

And comparing social security (which we pay for) to paying someone’s bills with my money is moronic.

How much will it cost when college is “free”?

[whistleduck]

It is simply the result of almost free money. Promoted by the NEA and parasites like democrappers up and down the political and educational swamp.
