This article reveals a very questionable grasp of statistics and demographics.
This article reveals a great deal of skill exploiting the reader's questionable grasp of statistics and demographics - indeed, it's a masterful work.
Your point on increasing education spending is very well-taken! I hadn't even noticed how he slipped that in there.
Honestly, a point-by-point analysis of the rhetoric in this piece would be really informative.

Perhaps, but I'm not sure if that's intentional. From the tone of the writing, it sounds like the author simply consulted a bunch of subject-matter experts, then regurgitated their talking points. I'm not convinced he is fully aware of what he's doing. EDIT: Interesting point, and well taken.
