Well we've seen this one coming for a while.
Student loan debts tops $1T; Rising college costs*combine with fewer grants to cause more borrowing** - NY Daily News
This one really gets me going:
So a "financial aid expert" (and a completely unbiased one, at that) calls for more subsidies, completely ignoring the fact that by and large education subsidies drive up the cost of education because schools know they have a steady supply of guaranteed income and have no incentive to compete for scarce dollars. That combined with the recent 90/10 rule creates a bizarre regulatory pressure on schools to keep raising tuition, which makes government give more subsidies, which raises tuition again, ad infinitum. banghead
