I seriously doubt the claim that increasing funding for the US government would lead to making the US economy more competitive with China. Government spending on education has been increasing continually in the US with very little to show for it in the way of results http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/02/09/considerations-on-cost-...
I'm suggesting that the only real way to "make America Great Again" is to make "American Schools Great Again" - sadly politicians love slogans, but wont spend money on things that wont deliver results a decade or two down the track.
Much like most American companies not looking past the next quarter's results, Americas politicians (an d voters) wont look past the next election
Is the suggested funding increase for the American government or for Americans? There are plenty of things that could be done for Americans that would help the economy.
