If the government were to make the current cost of attendance available to students, colleges would just double their prices (unless you implemented gasp price controls).

I'm highly doubtful people would put up with that. Essentially people would be paying for college twice.

People will put up with anything if it's a prerequisite for being employable, as we've seen from the massive rise in tuition already.
