Today, the average tuition at all of your same schools is almost $25,000.

Thats a 110 percent increase over a period of time when wages have gone up only 16 percent.

So people arent making more money, and college is objectively way more expensive.

You see whats happened?

Weve put up a paywall to the middle class.

Like he did inPatriot Act,Minhaj singled out predatory loan services like Navient.

Thats how desperate student borrowers are.

Not everyone can rely on that MTV check!
