I was trying to envision a mechanism to incentivize college and trade school students to complete their educations (and not attempt to succeed at institutions where they are not really qualified to keep up with their peers). One idea was to say "if you graduate" you can take (say) 30% or 50% of your educational expenses off of your taxes over the next 4 (or 6?) years.
This would presumably also be the period when they are getting married, having children, and trying to buy a home, in addition to continuing to gain experience and credibility in their respective field. Thus they could well use the extra money. Later they are getting more income and can start to bear the full load that most adults are responsible to maintain. Sort of a non-GI GI Bill approach, but post graduation rather than pre-graduation.
But none of these ideas will end up having any beneficial impact if we con't find a way to address our debt/deficit bankruptcy. Someone (many someones!!) will end up having to take a "haircut" to their income or their wealth to resolve this and "clear the deck" to go forward with reduced political and social obligations. I don't see any of our more prominent politicos expousing anything like this (beyond Massie, Roy, and Paul? but there are maybe 5 or 6 others?).
