Are we losing ground? The US is the technical atom bomb of the world. You don't do that with a poorly educated populace. One common answer to that is the immigration has made up for the deficiencies of the American educational system. Yet the large majority of American scientists and engineers are American born and educated.

Here's another thought: As the military needs a war, the NEA needs a failing educational system. If the system is doing just fine, what's the incentive to put more money into it? If it isn't failing, claim it is anyway.
