I ignored the rest as nonsense.

Hopefully, you won't be around when America votes to cut bait with the liberals and the bulk of their socialist programs and social policies these days. I assume the 2 to 1 folks are a group of well educated and well paid professionals (physicists, engineers, lawyers, accountants, chemists and such)  who work for various departments of the federal government like some friends of mine do now and a brother who worked for the Air Force with the Space Shuttle Program in the past. Am I correct about them? If so, I did a little reading and figured this out myself.

Job Corps doesn't provide jobs, as originally intended.  It's primarily a career training program with career counseling.  I don't see it preparing graduate degreed professionals.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
