> Federally subsidized loans is directly (not solely) responsible for rapid inflation of college costs in the US.

Is it? Several years ago I looked for historical data on tuition rates. I wasn't able to find much only, but did find data for Stanford and some large public university whose name I don't recall.

When I graphed their tuitions over 100 years starting from the early 1900s along with a graph of inflation over that same time the tuitions grew at roughly a fixed multiple of the inflation rate.

That pattern and multiple were the same before and after the arrival of federally subsidized loans.

Maybe if I had found data on a lot more schools something would have shown up.
