    You live in Oklahoma, one of the very worst states in the nation for education. Its a famously stupid state, like Alabama. A poorer, dumber extension of Texas and something about a musical is all anyone knows of there internationally.

    Yeah, no. You are too poor to care about taxes as had been said over and over.

    Trump was a foolish bragacious bully so Xi responded in kind using him as justification for hitting turbo boost on military spending. China's CCP had been pushing nationalism but its gone extreme. Hey maybe Bannon got his fourth turning or whatever but now you get to fight them for your very life.

    They are preparing for war far earlier than anticipated. But you like Asians, you are a "yellow fever" guy, you won't mind a Chinese girl putting you down with a CCP bullet eh?

    But muh taxes says Ken living vicariously through people who actually pay higher taxes..

    "Huge" tax increases would be deflationary.

    From the article.

    Ironically, despite the United States having the best-surveyed education system on the globe, U.S students consistently score lower in math and science than students from many other countries. According to a Business Insider report in 2018, the U.S. ranked 38th in math scores and 24th in science. Discussions about why the United States' education rankings have fallen by international standards over the past three decades frequently point out that government spending on education has failed to keep up with inflation.

    I live here, as an adult. That was a bit of a hard of thinking reply on your part boss.

    51 is not so bad really, its improving here. Anyway, if you broke up US states as countries in that list, wonder if Oklahoma would be really that far ahead of Colombia?

    Kids see smart family and self-motivate/gravitate to that level. Surrounded by morons, they think heck, I'm smart enough as I am.

    Your snark doesn’t negate the veracity of my post. The end product of the education system in the US has been in decline for many years.

    But I have to agree in part, kids that are fortunate enough to have smart family members do motivate/gravitate.... sadly today’s family structures are anything but conducive for normal, stable childhood development.
