College costs began to rise precipitously at the precise moment that Obama dis-intermediated banks from students and the government.

Not so certain this is true. It didn't help but easy money has been around for a long time and yes it is the cause of out of control higher education costs.

I started at a state school in '79. The in state tuition was $1k per year and room and board was something like $3.5k. Now at the same school the tuition is $11k and the room and board is about $12k. Crazy.
