The US spends more on health and education than developed countries and gets significantly worse outcomes.
There is no world where the way it is done now is “good”.
- no-name-here 7mo agoTrue, but I don't think grandparent commenter claimed it was “good” - instead, I think they were replying to the claim that the US won’t or refuses to spend money on those things.
- testing22321 7mo agoSo the US doesn’t spend the money, and it doesn’t provide services to its citizens. The citizens themselves have to pay from their own pocket, and they get substandard services because the whole thing is setup to maximize profits for private companies.

- testing22321 7mo agoSo it spends more than other countries, but gets worse results? … that’s not a flex.
- no-name-here 7mo agoI read bko’s comment as merely pointing out that the claim that the US doesn't spend money on those things was untrue. > that's not a flex Was there something about bko’s comment that made you believe they thought it was a “flex”? (I'd similarly say the US spends a lot but doesn’t get good results.)
