The life expectency in the US goes down. It seems the money spent on healthcare is not enough. Also in a democracy the government is as smart as the average person. Given that we need much more education.
What gets an insane amount of money in the US is the military. Half of silicon valley is financed by the military. All those IT billionaires wouldn‘t exist if not for money from the Pentagon.

I think you're seeing a lot of that, especially in education. It's so bad now I think pretty much all the federal education resources are just a net loss and we'd be absolutely better off without them.
