— America's Failing Schools | In 2018, America ranked 11th out of 79 countries in science and 30th in math.

“The U.S. economy would grow 4.5% in the next 20 years if our students’ math and science skills were as strong as the rest of the world’s."
Eric A. Hanushek, economist, Hoover Institution at Stanford University

— America's national debt at $28 trillion.

"I do not believe the debt overhang is the real problem. I believe the real problem is government spending. Government debt is a problem in the long run. Obviously, if the government continues to run deficits for a long period of time, it will sooner or later have to monetize them. So I do not deny that is a real problem. However, it is a mistake to concentrate on the debt as such instead of concentrating on why the debt was created, which is by excessive government spending. What is called a deficit is a form of taxation. It is a very bad form of taxation, but it is a form of taxation. However, it does have some good features. The deficit is the only thing that is keeping spending from going up still faster. Moreover, I do not know of any component of government expenditures that does less harm than the payment of interest. If interest rates tomorrow were zero so that government did not have to pay any interest, what would happen to the money it saved? Do you think it would reduce the deficit? You are kidding yourself.
"Milton Friedman, Nobel Laureate in Economics
