Do you agree about the student loans?  And are there other things you think they are doing that raises the price and devalues the degree?

Other things that government involvement in the free market may cause price increases (but also can level out supply which avoids big swings and oversupply/shortages):

Healthcare
Home mortgages
Gas prices
Food price supports (corn, dairy)
Utility prices
Licensing of professions

Good post. Corn subsidies is a good one. That’s why you have high fructose  corn syrup in every product which has resulted in negative health outcomes.

Lots of pork barrel subsidies for corn to produce ethanol.
