The above is the heading of a post on gizmodo. Here is the original article: http://chronicle.com/blogs/innovations/why-did-17-million-students-go-to-college/27634
I think people are starting to see that heavily subsidizing education may not be so great. From the article:

Anyone know where you can access the raw data? I tried a bit on the BLS website but couldn’t find it.
