Bernie Sanders has gotten a lot of mileage in his presidential campaign
by promising "free college tuition".
However, Sanders conveniently omits stating "WHY" college tuition is so
high. Missing from his stump speech is the govt. run student loan program
as the cause, not the "billionaires" on Wall St.
Sanders will try to blame capitalism, but capitalism brings competition
that would drives tuition down. And, don't expect him to blame his 'holy
grail' of governance, socialism, for this would destroy the Utopian world
he promises.
But, it is socialism, woven into the fabric of college financing, that
prevents tuition from being affordable.
With govt. loans schools have no reason to compete on price even though
it would broaden the marketplace to millions more.
So, as long as funding is available colleges can maintain high tuition,
with little incentive for them to do otherwise.
This is why you will never see a full page AD offering reduced tuition,
only low interest student loans that keep families in debt for years!
The unchallenged collusion of universities and the government which now
controls the entire student loan program ensures tuition will stay as
high as colleges desire.
