23. That's what you get when you screw teachers and saddle students with huge debt!

You get a "stupid" nation, and that I would argue is BY design, by the fascist a-holes form ALEC and their like! They want the stupid masses to bow to them the oligarchs and not have the sense of what used to be taught in civics classes, etc. to understand what a real democracy is all about. "Free enterprise" is NOT democracy and is NOT good governance, no matter how much so many (the press and politicians) are being paid to try and warp people's brains to feel otherwise!
