Who will pay for it? We can't even pay for education or healthcare.

We can, we just choose not to because of how we prioritize accounting. I see no reason why a well-run program shouldn't pay for itself since people would be doing some work as well as getting trained. Obviously, I'm picturing this as part of a broad realignment of national priorities and governance mores, not as a drop-in solution that we could just put in place tomorrow.
