Did you think that $3000 tuition paid for the costs of your education? No, it was a state school. The taxpayer made up the difference. But even in a private school, like Harvard, there are government endowments, grants, fellowships, assistantships, jobs etc., (as well as alumnae, charity, institutional, private and corporate ones). You did NOT pay for your education. No one does.
That tuition is just the cover charge that gets you in the door. But if you can come up with it, dinner, drinks and the show are on the taxpayer. All your graph proves is that the cover charge is going up and they're watering down the drinks.
Whether or not we can afford to subsidize the education of the middle class is a valid question, how we are going to pay for it is another, but the middle class is being subsidized, and they have no right to brag about how "they paid for their education" and those that can't don't deserve one.
