Where does industry get the funds for development, if all surplus goes to rentiers? Do numbers add up?

development scrapes by on diverse, net "Transfer" payments, which (thankfully) are still considered Off Budget.

Even if Transfer Payments confer only barely subsistence income.

Meanwhile, if
Medicare, SocSec, Unemployment, etc are all considered "Off Budget" Transfer Payments ... then why on earth can't mandatory public education, through college, also be treated as an off-budget transfer payment too?
