Yes and no. You should not force your children to do so. Even young adults are not yet fully mentally developed and may still be more teenaged than adult, which is reflective in their behavior. Forcing them out may not bee a good thing. Forcing them out without them being able to provide for themselves is downright awful. Now I know the USA has awful laws in many places, but there should be some to protect people that can't or cannot afford to defend themselves. Young adults are such people.
Were I live parents are forced to pay for the education of their children even after they grow up. At least for the first education.
If you're unable to, then the responsible thing is for your parents to help you out, if they're able to.
There is, however, a point where you start to look after your parents as they age, so if you're a grown adult and working, then you should at least be cost neutral to your folks.
Yes you help your parents when they need help as they age, that is what is done in a healthy family. Most of the times it's a one-way street and I feel like it's most often in the direction indicated in picture above
