I'm wary of the historical "evidence" of how people muddled through. The difference between the level of math needed for a high-school dropout to have a successful career in the 1980s, or to understand widely discussed policy issues, is clearly very different than the present.

If the learning of "mathematics" (meaning the assimilation of some body of "elementary" facts and methods) really is of such urgent importance to the success of young people today, then why do they drop out of math at the rate of 50% per year, from eighth grade through college?
