I was listening to economist Richard Wolff on Youtube, and he led me to the article, "CSU Then and Now" - CSU being the California State University System. As you read, remember California is one of the more progressive states.

IMHO, this is an example of what the boomers did to the next generation! The article says:

In 1985, students had to work 199 hours at minimum wage to pay tuition and fees for an academic year at CSU," according to the paper. In 2015, students had to work 688 hours at a minimum wage job to cover those costs."

Richard Wolff adds this:

(Quote)

Between 1985 and 2015, 150,000 more people have enrolled and made use of the university. That's an increase of 150,000. However, the state, when you adjust for inflation, the state now spends, in 2015, 41% less per student than in 1985.

This is a society shooting itself in the foot!
