The American people have been trained over the last few decades to expect too little. Universal healthcare & easy access to higher education is what the citizens in a prosperous society should expect and do expect in other countries. It’s part of our “right to pursue happiness.”

The reason we don’t have universal healthcare or free higher education is so the marketplace can continue to rule. But that’s economically self-defeating for the country. When people are healthier & more educated, they’re more productive and by definition add more to the economy.

Enlistment is the only way healthcare and higher education are available to many. They are enticements. Otherwise dept of "defense" would be understaffed and you can't have that in a military economy.

When women have control they have fewer children. Most of our environmental problems are caused by overpopulation.

In an Ideal world that would be the case, this is only about the benefits to the 1%, and the more DESPERATE the majority is, the better for that 1%, everybody will be DISPOSABLE, either work for less and less or be replaced by someone else...
