This economy is based off our human capitol, meaning American citizens need to compete in a global economy and should be invested in. How do we ensure this: education. Education offers our citizens advantages in the WORLD. Any aid, no matter how small, could aid the progression of America, to keep its competitive edge in the WORLD, in the future and for the subsequent generations.
