Perfect. To me this is a fantastic way of the government helping people. Instead of fixing the market they fix the workers. What's the saying?
"Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed for a lifetime."
This would such a better use of resources and time rather than artificially influencing a market in a way that long term won't work anyways.
I guess once again education is the magic bullet.
