I don't think you're understanding me. Unless you, and we, as a society are willing to let people starve to death because they made a stupid decision when they were a teenager, and didn't have parents that were worth a hill of ****, then you HAVE to either keep giving them the food and assistance for free, no strings attached as we currently do, or give them the education they need to qualify for the free stuff as you would like.
Expecting someone who can't afford FOOD to be able to afford to spend a couple grand (and a decent amount of time) on getting a GED is unrealistic, unless, again, we are all OK with letting them starve to death due to poor decision making as a teenager.
Poor policy, won't ever fly.
And even so, having everyone have a GED won't change ****. You don't NEED a GED to flip burgers, run a cash register, stock shelves, or push carts.
GED's are nearly free at most community colleges.
