Really tough to imagine: 40 years ago, tuition was dirt-cheap, giveaway reasonable compared with today's insanity.

No kidding, I saw an article at ZH or something, tuition has been going up something like 10%+ per year for a decade or two. Far, far higher than the inflation rate, but bear in mind, the goob is involved in student loans.
