If the federal government were to invest in public education as much as it does in maintaining laws that permit off shore tax havens, expensive war compaigns to democratize countries lke Afghanistan, a monopoly on drug selling by American-only pharmaceutical companies, bail outs on Wall Street, testing and data collection systems, and tax systems that shield the rich from paying their fair share, then imagine who we would be and how our society would be set up.
