Explanation:

The stock market crash of 1929.<em> During the 1920s the U.S. stock market underwent a historic expansion. As stock prices rose to unprecedented levels, investing in the stock market came to be seen as an easy way to make money, and even people of ordinary means used much of their disposable income or even mortgaged their homes to buy stock. By the end of the decade hundreds of millions of shares were being carried on margin, meaning that their purchase price was financed with loans to be repaid with profits generated from ever-increasing share prices. Once prices began their inevitable decline in October 1929, millions of overextended shareholders fell into a panic and rushed to liquidate their holdings, exacerbating the decline and engendering further panic. Between September and November, stock prices fell 33 percent. The result was a profound psychological shock and a loss of confidence in the economy among both consumers and businesses.</em>

<em> </em>

Banking panics and monetary contraction. <em>Between 1930 and 1932 the United States experienced four extended banking panics, during which large numbers of bank customers, fearful of their bank’s solvency, simultaneously attempted to withdraw their deposits in cash. Ironically, the frequent effect of a banking panic is to bring about the very crisis that panicked customers aim to protect themselves against: even financially healthy banks can be ruined by a large panic. By 1933 one-fifth of the banks in existence in 1930 had failed, leading the new Franklin D. Roosevelt administration to declare a four-day “bank holiday” (later extended by three days), during which all of the country’s banks remained closed until they could prove their solvency to government inspectors. The natural consequence of widespread bank failures was to decrease consumer spending and business investment, because there were fewer banks to lend money. There was also less money to lend, partly because people were hoarding it in the form of cash.</em>

<em> </em>

The gold standard. <em>Whatever its effects on the money supply in the United States, the gold standard unquestionably played a role in the spread of the Great Depression from the United States to other countries. As the United States experienced declining output and deflation, it tended to run a trade surplus with other countries because Americans were buying fewer imported goods, while American exports were relatively cheap. Such imbalances gave rise to significant foreign gold outflows to the United States, which in turn threatened to devalue the currencies of the countries whose gold reserves had been depleted.</em>

<em> </em>

Decreased international lending and tariffs.<em> In the late 1920s, while the U.S. economy was still expanding, lending by U.S. banks to foreign countries fell, partly because of relatively high U.S. interest rates. The drop-off contributed to contractionary effects in some borrower countries, particularly Germany, Argentina, and Brazil, whose economies entered a downturn even before the beginning of the Great Depression in the United States. Meanwhile, American agricultural interests, suffering because of overproduction and increased competition from European and other agricultural producers, lobbied Congress for passage of new tariffs on agricultural imports. Congress eventually adopted broad legislation, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act (1930).</em>

The government will control or cap the education fee to 0.5% increase from the previous year and the total fee can not be more than $ 10000.The government will give a subsidy  of 25% to colleges to bear the cost of education and maintain a very high standard in education as USA has always done.

This Education policy will allow an average American to follow his dream to pursue higher education.We are fully confident that this policy will allow USA to have a new pool of talent to push the innovation required in the 21st Century.

USA has many problems to counter taking help from fresh batches of graduates.NASA & Artificial Intelligence ( AI) is one such tool where we want to excel in the world.AI will help in the field of health of Americans. AI can be a tool to modernise our military to be the best in the world as always.

Robotics is another field where Americans want to excel with the help of best education which we provide.Robotics will help us automate our industries & to increase our industrial output so that we too can decrease our product cost like China and compete with China in Export Industry in the world.

Digitisation and automation is another field where we want to excel too with the help of top education system in the world.5G is another thing which we want to start as early as in 2019 and be at the top of the world.High internet speed will solve many of our problems which we face today eg.a surgery can be done with the help of a normal surgeon in a remote place  with the help of 5G & a top doctor sitting in New York & instructing personally using Hologram  ( using 5G technology) .
