      It creates:

      • Statistically, a constantly desperate hand-to-mouth workforce that must depend on employers to sustain their existence.
      • Armed forces signup incentives.
      • Easily-swayed consumers of products and services. (Run by those with access to nepotism and/or education, naturally.)
      • And easily manipulated voters.

      Underfunding education and having people basically born into debt isn’t a neglectful oversight, it’s a deliberate strategy.
