The Truth About ‘Higher’ Education | Myths, Expenses, and Reality Checks | July’s Ledger

Higher education didn’t become expensive by accident.

When government guarantees loans, universities have less pricing discipline. When loans expand, tuition rises. When degrees multiply, their market value declines. And when students graduate into underemployment, the system keeps functioning only because debt is continuously backed by taxpayers.

This video explains how:
– Tuition rose more than 200% over decades
– Underemployment for some majors exceeds 50%
– Universities compete on amenities, not outcomes
– Debt and credential inflation reinforce the system

The result? Infinite tuition, infinite debt, and often finite value.
