Corporate Democrats are scum of the earth.
If a Republican proposed this...there would be phony outrage from Democrats.
I'm actually outraged now.
This is effectively saying "our high schools don't give you an education that can get you through life". Which is equivalent to admitting that they're failing.
The thing is, high schools are failing. What amazes me is when politicians just want to shunt folks along to college as the solution rather than fixing high school. What happens when a Bachelor's degree can't get you through life (a point that we are closer to than anyone would like to admit)? Will Master's and professional degrees become mandatory?
Quite possibly. It's sort of like the ultimate in grade inflation. I think we'll fall apart before we get there, though. But if we don't, yeah. Increases in productivity and wealth have to be balanced somehow. If it's not via ultimately pointless paper pushing, we'd need to do society-changing things like shorter work weeks, free public health care and (effective) education, etc.
