Am I the only one that thinks that funding education is one of the best ways the government could spend its money? If more young people can afford to go to college we might stand a fighting chance of maintaining our current quality of life for another generation. Especially the sciences, so that we can develop new things that we can sell to the world.
Welfare is full of the uneducated that either never made a living for themselves or that planned on working in a factory that got sent overseas. If more people get educated and can trade their skills for a living rather than demand that the government hand them a living there would be less of a burden on the rest of us producers.
I guess I’m making the assumption that spending government money on education will result in a more educated population.

Welfare is caused by jobs going over seas/south of the border.
It is immpossible to have a society (as large as The USA) of all highly educated people succeed.
It is unrealistic to think that if Eminiem had a better education he could be a scientific researcher.
The Hoover Dam project created tons of jobs for people, maybe we need another project like that.
But why would anyone work on the new project when they can just get welfare for doing nothing?
