writerspleasure.livejournal.comI just noticed something odd.
According to Obama and the media etc., the United States' spending about $8,000 per person annually on health care is a catastrophe, even leaving aside future growth in numbers of medical-care needing seniors. Source: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/25/too-much-medical-care/ For this we get best-in-world treatment despite our horrible health habits (which the media help form, since most people are sedentary when they partake of their media IV drip).
Okay. So why is the United States' spending $10,615 per kid annually to put them in government schools not a 20% worse catastrophe? Source: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/06/21/155515613/how-much-does-the-government-spend-to-send-a-kid-to-school
