> I’m not just giving examples. Education and infrastructure are two of the big pillars of why we have government in the first place, and US government bodies have failed miserably on both fronts despite enormous funding.

I would posit that the only thing that is a bigger failure than the public school system, is the private school system.

It's numbers look good, but that's largely because private schools are more expensive, and also opt out of educating problem students.
