As to education, I want to say something to the "we don't spend enough" crowd. We are 4th in spending (over $6,000 per student, trailing only Denmark, Switzerland and Austria), but we are (to quote AFP)
"The three-yearly OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) report, which compares the knowledge and skills of 15-year-olds in 70 countries around the world, ranked the United States 14th out of 34 OECD countries for reading skills, 17th for science and a below-average 25th for mathematics."
So, the problem isn't money, it's something else. Maybe we should be examining the problem instead of throwing more money at it.
Carry on with everything else.
