Drop how much the cost of a college education has increased since 1980
For continuity's sake....College - 1990 vs 2025...

Average Annual College Tuition/Fees (public, in-state, 4yr University)
1990 - $4,000 (converted to $2025)
2025 - $12,000
a 200% increase (tripled)

Yep. Insurance (of all kinds) and healthcare costs are way up too. There is something to the lack of work ethic complaint, but costs are not comparable to what they were.
