@historyinmemes When the government took control of college loans , thanks to Obama, then the supply of $$$ for college loans skyrocketed along with the cost of tuition. The only thing that went down was the quality of the degree. The system is rift for failure.

@historyinmemes College went from ladder to debt trap. 📉

[Marcus Alpha @sksk_sinker]

the siple "minimum wage vs tuition" comparison hides several structural changes that make 1978 a different category than today

1978 had ~14% of high schoolers going to 4-year college vs ~35-40% today, federal financial aid was nearly nonexistent then vs hundreds of billions in grants and loans now, universities have massively scaled administration, facilities, and services, the price of "the same product" hides that the product changed substantially

the actual story is tuition outpacing wages by a huge factor AND cost structure expanding AND federal aid infrastructure enabling pricing power, "kids today have to work harder for school" is true and incomplete, the structural answer is universities responding to demand that loans guarantee rather than minimum wage failing to keep u

[Eric1949 @Eric87029267]

True. In 1973 I paid $14.50 per SEMESTER hour in California as a state resident for tuition. Minimum wage was $1.65 an hour and I worked part-time as a gas station attendant at a Shell station. Nowadays, colleges are businesses first, not institutes of higher learning. One of several reasons not to waste your time studying at a university. Study what you need online using AI. Cheaper, faster, and WAY better.

@historyinmemes When Obama took over Sallie Mae and federalized student loans, Universities larded up the payroll with administrators at every level, built grand facilities, and introduced all manner of social engineer programs like DEI.

@historyinmemes Woke BS courses now mandatory
College football players earning millions
Books - usually written by the professors - are hundreds of dollars “and this year’s edition is mandatory”
Professors make a fortune
And wherever the Federal Government “guarantees access”, prices rise

[Self Upgrade @selfupgrade222]

@historyinmemes There was a time when a summer job opened the door to education; today, the cost of education pushes many toward debt. How much times have changed.

[Rodo Snook @RodoSnook]

@historyinmemes Universities have multiplied their tuition because taxpayers have been funding it.
That needs to stop.
The education is not worth anywhere near the amount being charged in terms of ROI.

[Nick Manteris @thecostofwork]

@historyinmemes 260 hours of work covered a year of tuition in 1978. Today it takes 1,500. Productivity rose across the economy the entire time. Tuition should have come down. It went up. Same pattern as housing and healthcare. Three sectors, one direction.

[Richard @RichardGrampy]

When the Federal government involves itself in loans it basically created the incentives for colleges to price gouge on an astronomical level. Same incentives created the housing crisis & bubbles that actually burst and we still pay in the end only we end up in worse debt every time the Feds offer to fix something. It wasn’t broke, they broke it. It requires maturity to take out huge loans to own & maintain a home, same with an education.

[STUDENT LOAN JUSTICE @StudentLoanJus1]

@historyinmemes They took bankruptcy and other protections away, weaponized the loans, which caused hyperinflation.

They turned colleges into a financial scam.

"THEY" = The colleges, the Dept of Education, the $ changers.
