gollark: Otherwise, no.
gollark: Or, well, a lot.
gollark: It might help if the majority of the budget was in fact spent on sports.
gollark: According to random internet articles per-person spending is twice as large as in basically every other country ever still.
gollark: I think a more plausible explanation is along the lines that there's a lot of indirection - people don't *directly* pay the full very large price - and, due to other things (devaluing of the degrees, making *not* having one a stronger signal of problematicness somehow, and bizarre "prestige" factors), many people can't really just go "hmm, no, I don't want to pay that much" so they go up.
