that is not real truthful..<p>As subsidies increased the  upswing in HS students attending college happen..<p>1970s 25% HS students went to college<p>2000s 85% HS students went to college<p>Its not the subsidies that increased its the shear numbers of students per college campus increased beyond what the US state budgets for college could weather..<p>The correct term would be that US Federal subsidies had a side effect of de-funding public colleges at the State levels.
