I honestly think the mess the US is getting into here is just another example of failure of capitalism just like the health care system.

Now everybody struggles to get education and health care right but few places in the west does it seem to go as wrong as in the US.

People also choose dumb stuff in more socialized educational systems but because the government regulates the school system they don’t make tons of useless study places.

In fact we have seen this effect in Sweden as private enterprise started taking over more schooling. The number of popular but useless studies shot up. It is a classic case of market failure. It is one of those areas we’re bureacrats actually do a better job than the market.
