> That is ONLY possible with federal funding, no private lender would fund that.

Is this not a double edge sword tho?

Prior to student loans you more or less had to fund it yourself, which people did with a part time job or summer job. When they decided they wanted education more accessible and introduced student loans, all of a sudden more people could afford school and schools increased their prices 10 fold over time.
