“We know it’s harder to find a job today without some higher education,” President Obama said in December 2013, “so we’ve helped more students go to college with grants and loans that go farther than before. We’ve made it more practical to repay those loans. And today, more students are graduating from college than ever before.”

I can see at least one lie in this paragraph. Maybe three.

For the life of me I can't understand how college has become so expensive. If congress wants to investigate something investigate this.

Poor kids who do go to college have such a financial burden to start off their life it's depressing.

College has become so expensive because of all the money Obama and the Left have been throwing at it. Exactly as housing prices soared before the 2008 crash because so much money was being thrown at that market.

Just as a hypothetical, suppose word got out that you needed to own an Upright Piano to get a good job, and the government started pushlng loans to buy Upright Pianos and encouraging as many people as possible to get into the market regardless of how much debt they incurred. What do you think would happen to the price of Upright Pianos?

Poor kids who have the brains, should get help with their college education

Take the government money out of "education" and the cost will fall.

Part of the expense problem is the number of highly paid, tenured professors who do no, or very little, classroom teaching.

Another factor is the expense of providing all of the different liberal "feel good" courses - Wymens studies, The Black Influence On the 17th Century Fur Trade, Homosexualism In the Literature Of 18th-century France, etc....
