The welfare issue goes a bit deeper.
Walmart employees alone received 6.2 BILLION in public assistance, like food stamps etc.. because Walmart doesn't pay a living wage.
Costco by comparison pays it's employees a living wage and gives them insurance.
Walmart employs about 1.4 million people in the US, and when they enter an area they typically displace a number of businesses that paid a living wage and put the business owners out of business.
Our social welfare system is subsidizing big business by allowing them to pay slave wages and then has to step in to keep these people from starving.
With regard to colleges. State colleges used to be free. The problem started when they became profit centers and their administrative costs started to go through the ceiling. If state universities were free and no longer profit centers they would be forced to clean up the waste and overhead that has nothing to do with teaching the students.
Blaming kids who are told that they need an education to be a success is not the answer. They are lead to the slaughter by their parents and society in general and just doing what they believe is expected of them.
