You seem to be good at finding system hacks for your own, and/or proximal cases. But you continue to generalize your own experience(s) in a way that almost certainly doesn't broadly apply.
Here is Google's first link for "student loan total debt history": https://educationdata.org/average-student-loan-debt-by-year https://educationdata.org/average-student-loan-debt-by-year
Some stats from that:
- Student loan debt at graduation has increased 76% since the Class of 2000, a growth rate that outpaces the rate of inflation by 41%
- After adjusting for inflation, the average student loan debt at graduation has increased 326% since 1970
- Since 2003, the national total student loan debt balance has grown by 602.5%
Of course, tuition prices and student loan stats are different things. But the loan stats make it hard to argue that there is much discounting - in general - of tuition prices
