I don’t necessarily buy the idea that student loans are driving price increases, but there’s a tangible difference between subsidizing producers versus consumers (corn subsidies are generally the former, student loans are the latter).

If people couldn't get the loans the price wouldn't be that high, people don't have the money to pay it.
