It’s actually worse than she’s saying. The cost of a Hershey bar went up due to inflation, that’s natural. The cost of college went up in large part because these same Boomers who were able to pay for college by working part time at the local soda shop specifically voted to cut state funding for higher education. Increasing the portion borne by students. They actively pulled the ladder up behind them.

Doesn’t work as well in a tweet, obviously.
