The US government spending tens of millions of dollars funneling every student into STEM for the last 20 years was absolutely a coordinated attempt to drive down the cost of that labor.

tens of millions of dollars is a pittance to a country the size of the USA... you do realize that's less than a dollar per person even if you actually spent hundreds of millions, right?

And somehow it would still be better in everyone's pockets than exist as a corporate entity.

I'm not really up to date on the situation in the US, but aren't there millions of people with student debt totalling billions? How much did the US government really spend on education per student in today's value?
