I hope this example isn't too esoteric for you: The government pays
for the construction and staffing of a building where young people are
sent to be taught communication, analytic, and social skills that will
prepare them for a more productive and self-sufficient place in the
workforce and in society as a whole. Ideally, this Orwellian
institution teaches these kids how to make their own way, so they don't
end up a burden on the system through government assistance or
incarceration. Just how well it works is dependent in large part on
the resources (financial and otherwise) devoted to this far-fetched
plan.

Do you think it could work, or is this just throwing money at a problem
that's not rooted in money?

So you're saying that adding $87B to the education budget and _actually
sending it into the education system instead of just talking about it_
might help the US?
