I guess it would depend on how we spent it. I'm not sure they would be smarter, but they would be better educated. We CAN make people smarter- better nutrition does that. Intellectual stimulation of infants and toddlers makes their neurons grow. Get lead and mercury out of the environment helps to increase IQ. We can make people smarter AND more educated- if we have the will to do it.

<<I think if we spent 10 times as much on education, people would be a lot smarter in this country.>>

I doubt that. Our local schools spend $8k per student and turns out some real dummies. 5 students per teacher in HS math courses and graduates couldn't make change for a 50 cent package of gum if you handed them a dollar.
