@djc you are getting it right. and yes, it would be better if we could build in the price controls up front. but politically, we don’t eat our vegetables until a crisis forces us to. SAVE is a half solution that provokes a crisis until the other half is filled in. it’s not how you’d want to do things. if we had a more functional legislature, we might impose a full, rational fix. but it does create conditions under which about the only way to fix things is higher-ed price controls.
