How come Japan and South Korea spend vastly less on education than we do and have larger class sizes than we do and have much smarter students? How come Japanese Americans and Korean Americans also do amazing in the "terrible" US education system? How come Asian Americans have a life expectancy of 87 years old in the "terrible" US healthcare system?It's actually behind Switzerland and Norway in terms of education and I didn't necessarily say the US doesn't spend enough but of course that isn't really the root of the problem, particularly in regards to having worse health outcomes than countries which spend far less (lack of regulation and intervention in medical pricing). I'm just tired of the country playing world police and blowing twice as much annually on shit like the OCO fund than what the NIH receives, particularly given the value generated from the latter - 'would' is also the operative word, because it isn't realistic at this juncture.
Why are you so sure that the systems in place have anything to do with any of this?
