There Is No 'Saving' It At All (College tuition has increased 914% since 1983.)

 There is only utterly destroying this edifice which has no connection to value:

College tuition has increased 914% since 1983 — outpacing medical care, housing, gas, and virtually every other household cost. 

Post-secondary education has become a rather complicated Racketeering enterprise with many gatekeeping entities and cooperating parties, all of whom are committing felonies.  It is worse (by about a factor of two) than medicine, which I've well-documented in these pages yet medical care is "only" up 500%.

This is not "inflation" -- it is Racketeering.  No price-fixing of this sort, or in medicine for that matter, can survive without illegal collusion because if you try to price-fix like that someone comes along and blows your head off competitively -- you lose, they win, and you either are forced to cut it out or go out of business.

Only a government that actively suborns and in fact protects such a monopolist set of practices, both here and everywhere else (such as in medicine) can lead to such practices surviving.  All such practices are illegal under 100+ year old law which the government has a formal duty to enforce rather than participate in and which, in the case of anti-monopoly laws, are present at the state level too so it is not just the federal government that is involved in illegally screwing you -- it is also the states.

No person has an obligation to allow this to go on.
