Competition is good in some ways, we made a lot of cool stuff during the cold war.
There's no way you're going to solve our problems here by throwing money at it, we've tried that before and the problems worth solving never get solved.
Take money out of education I say. Give every kid a book and their parents a cudgel of some sort. That will motivate them to learn. I'll be busy brooding in my castle, on Mars.
