College tuition will continue to increase at exponential rates as long as congress keeps fixing the problem by making more money available.

The more student loans available the more the colleges know they can ask for and get from the students.

Private insustry is now big time in the student loan business. They are bribing the schools to put their info in the student's face.

It won't go away and the universities will continue to increase fees because there is no incentive to do otherwise.

Correct! College supply hasn't increased as much as demand has with the grade inflation caused due to state programs that give free rides to so many kids. The end result? The free-market for college space has to adjust to the increased demand vs lack of supply.
