"Over all, the report found, published college tuition and fees increased 439 percent from 1982 to 2007 while median family income rose 147 percent. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, and students from lower-income families, on average, get smaller grants from the colleges they attend than students from more affluent families."
"While 79% of students born into the top income quartile in the U.S. obtain bachelor’s degrees, only 11% of students from bottom-quartile families graduate from four-year universities, according to Postsecondary Education Opportunity."
Anyway, if 1 trillion dollars in student loan debt doesn't sound like a problem to you, there's probably not much to be gained from continuing the discussion.
People like you have no idea what it's like to live below the poverty line.
