The richest country on earth spends nearly twice as much on education per student as any other country on earth.

Our college students now carry one trillion in debt, more than all credit card debt in America. That debt went to pay for university facilities and extraordinary teacher benefits and salaries. Meanwhile 50% of graduating students can't find a job.

There's only one place for the blame to go, unless you intend to blame the students. The teachers and their unions have been given resources that other first world nations would kill to have.
