In his weekly speech, President Obama said "Making it harder for our young people to afford higher education and earn their degrees is nothing more than cutting our own future off at the knees." What does"at the knees"mean here? Can anyone help me with this?

It means they have nothing to stand on. No legs, you see.
@jeremykong,
...or metaphorically, "destroying any hope of
advancement from this level"( no growth
above the knee).
