It would be interesting to check the history of the cost of a college degree vs average household income since WWII. I would bet you would see a substantial divergence about the time the government got involved in "helping" people pay for their education.

My scientific wild ass guess is three unintended consequences rose to the front:
1) Increase in demand without a corresponding increase in supply.
2) The consumer wasn't concerned with the cost of the education, just the monthly payment.
3) The universities knew there was excess slop in the trough.

I will be blunt - what a load of horse crap.
All this article/report is a propaganda hit piece. The author apparently was trying to be subtle, but the blatant bias in some of the statements are so over the top, it almost defies description.
And then equating the experiences required to earn the GI Bill benefits to nothing is beyond the pale, in this case the author can KMA.
And then stating that soldiers of color or women soldiers were short-changed because they "...were clearly discriminated against in its implementation." Someone please show me where the GI Bill was at fault, instead of the educational institution (whose policies were at fault).

There is a House tax plan.

There is a Senate tax plan.
