I guess you skipped the course in college that tells you what happens to an economic system when you suddenly inject a lot of easily obtainable cash into it?
Oh Oh I know - the money trickles down?

Uh, I don't really know how to respond to such silliness.
You are going to have to use smaller words Yuki...

Why, many low cost options spring up to take advantage of the large supply. Isn't that how markets work?

Exactly how markets work...
Just look at the oil industry. We give them tons of cash, we give them tons of tax exemptions, we give them tons or permits and land and in return we get super cheap gas.

I thought conservitards and libertards enjoyed watching the market work.
Demand is up for college educations, so they charge more. Many campuses are hitting record high attendances.
No one is "forcing" you to go to college.

Now put a data point for housing and healthcare and the correlation will be quite enlightening

What part of "real costs" don't you understand?
We'll just continue using my example:
Stanford tuition in 1990: 15k Room and board: 5k. Total: 20k/year.
Stanford tuition now: 40k, room and board 12k, total: 52k.
My brother's real yearly cost with my parents making 80k/year: about 25k.
My brother would have got some financial aid in 1990, but not much. Probably not more than about 5k, and even that is probably generous. So say his real costs in 1990 would ahve been 15k.
Inflation from 1990 to 2011: about 80%.
15k x.1.8= 27k.
ZOMG!

Couple of those words have more than two syllables, but over all good job on using smaller words.
