The numbers are the numbers.
If all of the other prices in society are growing at X%
And average income is growing at Y%
And the cost of a college education goes up Z%
The goal of the economy is to have the Y factor increasing at at least a little bit higher rate than the X Factor or the Z factor.
In this case, X and Y have fluctuated a little bit, but in general Y is hanging in there.
But not when it comes to Z. Z has a voracious appetite that is perfectly happy to double or more the inflation rate every year. Now if they were providing that exponential level of product as a result, then there may be some utility in that.
I'm not seeing it.
