I think the US needs to learn again to improve exisitng systems. I think philanthropy is often a way to avoid tackling difficult issues and instead trying to score some points quickly without changing the system. Whatever the philanthropy effort come up with is pretty useless or only of use for a few people if the results that don't actually get implemented in the mainstream. When I talk to people in the US most of them seem to think that the current systems are hopeless and can't be improved, be it infrastructure, health or education. Philanthropy can help maybe a little but I think it's more important to improve current systems. You can't just let things for slowly and hope for billionaires to fix them. They won't.
