When did the funding from state dry up? In the 60's the cost of univerity was like ~$1500 which is ~$11,000 today, yet today people are in debt for up to 100's of 1000's. The higher education act was introduced in the 60's, and its been downhill from there.

That's extremely atypical. AFAIK the average student debt at graduation is around $35k.
