    While correct, the real problem came when they made banks unable to refuse college loans. Suddenly, colleges could set whatever price they wanted, and the banks had to agree. That skyrocketed costs and directly led to the current situation.

    Of course, it really started even further back than that when we allowed education to be privately funded rather than a public good.

        We don’t bat an eye at having tax-funded libraries (well the GOP is starting to…) because we have internalized as a society that they’re a good thing. I have never understood why we can’t do the same with schools.
