How does it not make sense? If more people can afford college, the price will increase because college is a finite resource. It's basic supply and demand.

The government subsidizing college educations causes the price of education to increase.

Whether you pay it back in 2 years or 20 years, the price is higher.

You also pay for it later, when you become a working taxpayer.

Should education really be handled as an economical resource? I don't think so...

Why? Food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, all are, and they're more important than education. Furthermore, many people don't have them.

BTW government run healthcare is still an economic issue. The only difference is that there's one choice and it's compulsory.
