Even if we paid off our entire national debt and balanced the budget for now through eternity, there's still the issue that this country is losing its competitive edge (and in some areas has already lost it).If we placed more of a value on education, and spent a lot more money and effort to improve our educational system, we could improve the other side of the equation -- i.e, we could drastically increase GDP through innovation and technical advancement.It shouldn't be any surprise that the countries that are on our tails in terms of technical competition and advancement (actually, many are beating our a**es), are the ones that value education, both socially and financially.Fix that problem, and this nation would have a lot more money to spend...or use to pay down our debt...
