well, just off the top of my head, the USA is the only country on the planet where the current generation is less educated than the previous gens. that's enough of a red flag i can stop right there, nevertheless, we're replacing service sector jobs with technology, displacing millions of uneducated workers at an exponential rate. Other countries are creating intellectual property faster than US too. Student debt is spiraling out of control. we don't have enough technology educated people to compete on a global level.
= crisis.
and Sanders compared the 2 to make a bigger point- our priorities are fucked up. he's not advocating giving out free ed willy-nilly.
