I don’t really think anyone in the government has a good solution for this, do they?

Remove the available money? Only the rich go to college. Add more money? The prices go up.

You could try regulating it, but then you just get colleges that refuse to accept government money, while simultaneously asking for the same amount.

I’m sure someone has a solution that would work, but it’s not anyone with the power to implement it, that’s for sure.

just make public universities cheaper, private sector will feel the competition and lower prices.

I honestly don’t think so. Private universities are already more expensive, why would they care if that gap widened more?
