American education is about producing mediocrity

 We have already seen the kind of education system in the USA producing people who do even know that cotton does not come from sheep. And even producing Cotton-mouth senators, or snakes, that do not even know that Singapore is not a part of China.


Oh, not to forget all the muddle-headed highly educated Congressmen and women making all the decisions for the brain-dead USA citizens to follow. That, by the way is what the USA's education system is all about and producing. How does that measure up to the gloating about their top rankings in the World University survey is a puzzle. And it costs those wishing for a university education in the USA to pay an arm and a leg to achieve.

Everything in the USA is at marked up prices of enormous proportions, not just in education. In the military it has been reported that the USA military does not wince about spending US$9,000 for a bag of bushings or metal sleeves, US$1,200 for a coffee cup or US$600 for a toilet seat. And Trump is trying to coax Russia and China to talk about cutting military spending. Trump ought to look seriously at the USA military budget first before trying to talk to Russia and China about cutting spending. Russia and China are not overspending on the military to need any cutback, and they are doing just fine, but not the USA. Russia and China must not fall into the ploy of Trump and decimate their own military upgrading program. There is a report that China is building two new nuclear submarines, coming on fast and furious on top of the Fujian.

Trump is not as peaceful in his behavior as most seem to believe. His stance of needing to use military force, if necessary, runs counter to his profess peace talk. But the USA needs peace in Ukraine and Middle East to allow it to re-arm itself instead of producing weapons non-stop to fuel the Ukraine and Middle East wars. Trump needs to conserve resources to fund his tax cuts for the rich from all sources.

American politicians are never known to be peace loving. If they have the opportunity, they would want to remain in power forever. They are so envy of Xi & Putin for being able to remain in power for so long. Education system can only educate half a person, while the remainder is done by family/friends/others/media/gov. With the amount of propaganda produced by the US gov, no wonder their people are getting dumber over the years.

Trump and Elon Musk are desperately cutting Federal spending, cutting spending on healthcare, even cutting military spending by a touted 50% and trying to drag Russia and China into the scam to justify such a drastic move, imposing reciprocal tariffs on friends and foe, all to fund Trump's tax cuts for the rich which is reported to be as much as US$4.5 trillion according to one Senator. Trillions with a 'T' mind you, and everyone in the lower and middle class in the USA are expected to help foot the bill, not just friends and foe worldwide. Actually, not all friends and foe are affected by those tariffs which are paid basically by USA citizens themselves, though they are not accepting the reality.

Trump had fooled a lot of people in the past. His six bankruptcies are testament to his conman abilities. That one victim after another fell under his conman tactics, and his ability to rise up again and again is mind-boggling. Elsewhere in the world, people run for cover knowing someone has gone through bankruptcy or would deal with him using a long pole. Not in the USA and Trump knows that.

I am honestly going to believe that Trump may yet pull off this massive con job once again, knowing the Hillbillies are as dumb as a statue. That they can still cheer and clap and allow Trump to run wild at their expense is indeed sad to see.
