4) The federal government is subsidizing education generally, with market-distorting grants and below-market loans to students. Therefore, there is nothing keeping the price of tuition from rising to sop up these funds.
Since liberals love government control so much, maybe we should have price controls for universities that take government money. Say, $500 per credit. That’s still way more than they need.
Yes.
If car loans were illegal, new cars would still cost $3000.

The bill my wife got for a minor bump on the head requiring absolutely no medical action other than prescribing a few pain pills was “listed” at five figures, of which we paid about 1/20th of after insurance.
