> 1. The price of college is continuing to rise faster than the rate of inflation.

Then maybe inflation isn't taking everything into account? My health insurance cost is rising faster than inflation too. So is health care cost and nearly every service that requires labor and cannot be imported/outsourced. Doesn't that tell you that the true rate of inflation could be much higher than the publicized rate? Rate of inflation includes lots of goods that can be cheaply imported. But you cannot import enough cheap labor with PhD degrees. And these are not included in calculating the rate of inflation.
