@richarddebono7092 We're poorly educated because we let the government take over education. This myth that government runs anything better than private companies is perpetuated by government, but it's always the most regulated industries that are the most dysfunctional. The "private prisons" are totally run and regulated by government. If they weren't, they'd be held accountable, but it's a "public-private partnership," so of course it's corrupt. You want affordable health care? Cut the bureaucrats out. Doctors spend 30% of their time just filling out forms. Again, it's public-private partnerships that increase red tape and put health decisions in the hands of a bureaucrat with a damnable spreadsheet, instead of making it a decision between doctor, patient, and a charitable community that lives within its means. But everybody wants million-dollar health care paid for by somebody else, by force. $omething has to give, and it's always quality and quantity, while stuffed shirts who care for no one make all the decisions, and since they inevitably end up underpaid, trying to keep more promises than can be kept, they're easy to buy off.

@kjacksonson12 The baltimore schools spend way more per pupil than schools elsewhere, but nobody can read. It's not about the money. It's putting politicians in charge and giving teacher unions a monopoly on teaching. They couldn't care less about their customers.
