The National University System was established in 2001 to meet the emerging challenges and demands of education in the 21st century. The System is uniquely aligned to connect a diverse population of students to a network of innovative educational programs that are relevant to their lives, careers, and the marketplace and are delivered in a format that respects competing life priorities.

Answer: NO
It is ludicrous to expect the economy to grow with fewer producers and greater government dependency. Falling labor force participation rates are bad for the economy and socially destructive. A system that penalizes producers and rewards non-producers is slated for failure. The CBO report underscores the flawed U.S. social safety net imposing high marginal rates on working class adults. Eligibility rules often mean individuals lose more than a dollar in benefits for every additional dollar they earn. It is long past time to restructure how we build safety net programs and combat poverty. Unleashing productivity results in greater economic growth.
