You can look at that, and someone like Seran would say "See!! Socialism blah blah blah"... not realizing... every country above the US on that chart (and not by much mind you) has been propped up and supported with US taxpayer funds and military protection for the past 70 years.

The one thing I would say that the "government" should be held to account for... and is failing miserably at... is Education. Not the money spent per student, as the US is second in the world with that... so plenty of money is there... it's what we're teaching students that is so horrible. Focus should be on STEM, economics, financial structures, trade skills, etc. instead of the "general studies" that pass for degrees these days. That is the true failing.
Agreed.

We have kids graduating $100k+ in debt with degrees that specialize in gender neutral sociology, and these same kids wonder why they can’t get a meaningful job in the real world. Our higher education system is long overdue for reform.
