IQ has to be 55 or below in order for literacy to be unattainable, which is less than 1% of the population. Between 56 and 85 adds difficulties and requires extra education but is not insurmountable. That's about 15% of the population.
130M in the US is over 50% of the adult population. That is not a matter of statistical distribution, that is a matter of policy failure.
