The resources allocated to education are not infinite.

They don't need to be infinite; education just needs to be taken more seriously. And the public in general needs to understand that social programs they like need to be funded, and that sometimes means more taxes (education is basically a social program).

The US has a very high wealth per capita - if other countries with similar resources can do it, so can the US.
