As a country -
We spend 50% more on education than our peer countries, and our outcomes are worse.
We spend twice per person on healthcare as our peers, and our health outcomes are worse.
We cannot build anything (roads, houses, etc) at anywhere near the cost or quality of our peers.
We spend, in addition to our tax revenue, an additional 40% that we borrow, and we will soon be paying over half of our tax revenue just for the interest on our growing debt.
We are not pleasant to be around
We are fat, stupid, broke, and churlish. Not very good marriage material.
These are all issues with varying degrees of seemingly personal interjections or non related pieces of information that don’t address nor seemingly relate in any meaningful way about what I’m asking.
If I take this at face value, you believe the US education is failing only because Americans are fat, stupid, and broke and simultaneously spend too much on education for worse outcomes, which contradicts being broke.
Yet there could be no other, more specific reasons such as leveraging education and specifically school boards for partisan purposes? A practice of which that has only increased in frequency over the last 30 years?
