Or perhaps it may be (or certainly is) because, in the real world that's likely to yield a better return on the taxpayers' investment. I do admit it's difficult to quantify what the return would be investing in the arts. I believe that, with the exception of state-run schools (and then only with states' tax dollars), the government should have no involvement in funding post-secondary education, and in the US getting the government out of backing school loans, which before Obamacare, were required to be paid, with no option for default. I also think that the colleges and universities should be responsible for providing loans to students. It would inevitably result in a reduction of tuition costs, which are completely out of hand.
Regarding Australia: My wife lived in Melbourne for three years in the late nineteen seventies. Her sons attended Catholic school and wore uniforms. Nothing fancy; very inexpensive. She thought that was a great system. She also talks about your version of Social Security (Superannuation I think it is/was called?) and thought it was also well conceived. I love the great tennis players of the sixties, seventies, and eighties: Laver, Emerson, Rosewall, Court, and Goolagong. I actually got to play with Emerson and Rosewall in a pro-am doubles tournament, and attend a cocktail party with them the following evening. Simply great guys. I hope you can turn things around a bit after the government overreach that occurred for several years as a result of the Wuflu.
