The general education of our youth is directly related to the net productivity of our nation. It is imperative that the federal government allocates more funding towards K-12 education. The instability of the educational system in America results in a dramatically low graduation rate (69%) wherein 1.3 million high school students don't get their diploma. In addition to hurting our future economy and the youth of our nation, it requires more money from individual state and local governments, increasing our overall federal deficit. By allocating more funds strictly towards education, it will lower our federal deficit by allowing every individual to create more profit for themselves, and for the U.S. as a whole.
