It's not ideological BS, and most economic problems aren't as simple as basic economics. To say that raising prices for consumers doesn't price people out is BS. People make decisions based off of price. Why would you go to school if it takes half your life or never to pay it off? Eventually if you raise the price high enough you will price people out, that's what's happening.

But students aren't getting value out of school. And schools are too busy raising prices, the price of school over the last few decades has outpaced inflation. Most of that is going to administration, sports and fluff that doesn't add value to a degree and those things don't help people get jobs. Sure it's nice to go to schools that have those things. Schools need to cut the crap and students need to start waking up and not attending expensive institutions and demanding cheaper education. Schools won't cut costs if they don't get a message and they have a lot to cut.

This is basic economics, they are pricing out students. Lower prices = more demand and higher prices = less demand. This is a demand problem people are being priced out. Education is pricing out students. Students also have choices, they can go to community colleges and then go to university.
