It took thirty years of cutting education spending but they are almost to a fully ignorant populace.

    Wait another 30 years and all the 'educated' people who are running the country now will start dying off leaving behind the generation that had little, limited or no education.

    Sure you're always going to have your best and brightest running the country .... but they're going to be severely outnumbered by an entire nation full of people who are dumb as bricks who raised children and grandchildren who are dumb as bricks.

    As much as I worry about this I think the real scenario will be the rich keep their kids educated at proper levels and they start to look smarter than the poors. If this trend keeps up it will be easy to convince a population of uncritical thinkers that being rich makes you better.

    I think it's even sadder than that ... a rich elite who believe they are raising more intelligent children but are in fact just raising slightly smarter kids that are one step brighter than an entire population of completely stupid people.

    Money and wealth doesn't make you intelligent ... because often what happens is the wealthy get to the point of just buying or purchasing the credentials and diplomas like they do houses or cars because they see them as titles rather than academic achievements.
