Do you have any evidence of "spending on social programs has exploded"?
While I hear that line repeated constantly, usually by those on the
right, I've worked extensively with both university budgets and state
budgets over the last 40 years, and I've never seen evidence of it. So

Where'd you get your inflation numbers?

Here are the reasons from the article.
The first is *third party payments*. When someone other than the consumer
is paying, at least temporarily, some of the bills, the customer is not
very sensitive to prices.
Second is *lack of information*. For markets to work effectively, buyers
and sellers
"30 years ago, for instance, the University of Oregon had roughly 50% of
their budget funded by the state."
Sounds like a horrible business model.
Anyway, what was the tuition cost 30 years ago and what is it today?

Any list that substantially mentions public universities (as this one
does) but does not mention the plummeting contribution of public
funding for said universities has a primary goal of blowing smoke up
your ass.
