    College tuition has massively outpaced inflation, much less wage growth.

    The policies (chiefly the change that made student loans no longer dischargeable in bankruptcy) that rocketed college tuition up are a MUCH more significant factor in college affordability, that’s just a fact.

      When everything outpaces inflation, maybe we compute inflation wrong.
