Aid has decreased while tuition has increased because the oligarchy presses government to cut everything that doesn't benefit them personally. Society values education and knowledge. Oligarchs value well educated workers they can make money off but didn't have to pay to educate. So they import foreign workers, saying Americans are underqualified.

Oligarchs also value an indebted workforce.
