It gets worse. Familial instability, generational poverty[0], increased rates of child (physical, sexual, mental, spiritual) abuse[1], neglect[2], mental illness[3], learning disabilities[4], worse educational outcomes[5], reduced rates of secondary education[6], increased risk of serious drug addiction[7], homelessness[8], and untreated medical conditions[9] will severely harm the labor force reducing our competitiveness on the world stage while increasing second+ order costs. Our continued failure to meaningfully and collectively address these emergencies today is costing us all, a nearly impossible to calculate, amount of money in reactionary services, reduced economic velocity, stunted GDP, and the unrealized potential of our neglected human capital.

  One of the reasons the U.S. spends the most on ‘education’ per capita and gets average/below average results is that because a bulk of the spending is actually diverted to dealing with these social ills. I.e. America has decided the education system is what we use as aid to these families that are suffering too much to focus on actually getting an education.
