The other piece of this puzzle is higher education is the pathway out of generational poverty, but if you make it unaffordable without aid then you can con young people into risking their necks for colonialist oil wars in exchange for GI Bill tuition assistance
This was always the plan, students have historically been the first domino to fall in many major revolutions. This effectively neuters them from the ability to rise up against the system. Can't protest when you are living paycheck to paycheck with life crippling debt. Unless of course, you destroy the whole system that holds your debt.

What, you'd rather have Pulp or the Beatles over Mumford and Sons or Chris Rock?

Might I add that the last few decades we’ve medicated our children so that they no longer have any creativity left in them.
