High school drop outs do not cost the economy billions.
Regulations not permitting young teens to get jobs, marry, licences, and own property and drink at 18 costs the economy billions as we enfantalize those who want to get on with life while the laws protect insuracne and school jobs.

The Facts on Subsidized College Degrees
When the government subsidizes higher education, it becomes cheaper for people to access, so more people apply. The demand for college rises, which in turn drives the price of tuition up. At the same time, as the price of college rises, politicians are urged to spend more as universities become more empowered and invested in making sure those appropriations keep coming.
Students also are less likely to pay attention to their ability to actually afford what they are purchasing, let alone have a sense of the value of their degree.
