S: "I can't afford to go to college."

G: "Here, have some money."

C: "Oh? The government is giving students money now? Well then...let's increase tuition!"

S: "I can't afford to go to college again!"

G: "Here, have some more money."

C: "Sweet...tuition increases coming!"

Repeat ad infinitum until we reach where we are today.

Yes, it is the government's fault.

It is human nature to exploit situations like that that are ripe for exploitation. Similar to when price controls are implemented in response to inflation, so people go out and horde the basic necessities.

We will never overcome human nature.

So the government is still the root cause of the problem. They created the problem. Schools did what every business, and yes schools are a business, does when a huge pool of new customers is opened to them.
