I said the excessive budget moves the US towards bankruptcy. Eventually, if government continues its out of control spendthrift ways, the US will be bankrupt, but that is a few decades off at the soonest.

"is it just failing to keep up. I'm not sure our education system is any worse than it was 5 or 10 years ago. That doesn't mean that it is good enough. If it starts out at too low of level it doesn't have to fall to remain at too low of level."

The US education system is producing too few mathematically proficient graduates. There are too few native engineers. We have too many undereducated lawyers that believe perjury is ok. Other countries like China and Japan appear to be doing a better job of educating their youth. It is hard to stay ahead of the Jones from behind.
