gollark: Many American systems are weirdly broken in exciting ways.
gollark: But it's the ability to pay more money *specifically* for colleges, via loans and stuff.
gollark: The problem is that if people's ability to pay increasingly high prices is increased a lot, then the ability of colleges to charge high prices is also increased.
