And no one is supposed to complain or be outraged?  We are all just supposed to "plan" for this?[/quote]

The reality is a family of four making $65k will get great aid. It’s the strivers, the job slaves with newish cars and houses within a decent commute to DC that will be expected to pay $80k a year out of a $170k salary. [/quote]

OP managed to save $160K or so for one child.  They clearly have a very high income.  [/quote]

THIS^^^
That is privilege.  They are just upset that others have more than them.  They can likely find a way to pay 80K/year with minimal loans with a HHI of 200K+.  If they really wanted to.  Cash flow 20-25K/year and take the rest in loans and pay it off once kid graduates. Personally, I wouldn't take loans or try to cash flow that much, I'd send my kid to a school I could afford, because there are literally hundreds of excellent schools that met their financial criteria.   But if they really desire a "top" school, they could afford it.
