A policy wholly informed by boomers‘ stereotypes of younger generations being too stupid or hedonistic to achieve the sort of financial freedoms they got during the post-WW2 boom years.
Also sacrificing the idea of a „liberal“ education that seeks to enlighten and build character on the altar of capitalism and pragmatism.
Maybe if people were more financially literate they would stop letting the boomers rob them blind by always protecting their own interests (stocks, houses, healthcare for old people) at the expense of all other aspects of society (education, infrastructure, health care for non-old people).
