When I took office, I set the goal for America to have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020. To reach that goal, we increased the maximum annual Pell Grant by more than $900 to help nearly 10 million needy students afford a college education. . . . In this Budget, I also propose a series of new proposals to help families with the costs of college including making permanent the American Opportunity Tax Credit, . . . and rewarding colleges and universities that act responsibly in setting tuition, providing the best value, and serving needy students well.
To help our students graduate with the skills they will need for the jobs of the future, we are continuing our effort to prepare 100,000 science and math teachers over the next decade. . . .
And to prepare our workers for the jobs of tomorrow, we need to turn our unemployment system into a re-employment system. That includes giving more community colleges the resources they need to become community career centers – places that teach skills that businesses are looking for right now, from data management to high-tech manufacturing.

Answer 1

"Things that will increase the nation's debt."

Reason: "Fiscal health" refers to the government's financial condition, so long-term challenges to it are factors that would raise spending or reduce revenue and thus increase the national debt.
