I refer my learned FRiend to the answer I gave some moments ago.

There is a similar story in health care. Black women, for some reason, give birth to low weight babies and those babies have health problems. Compare Americans of European ancestry to Canadians, and US health care looks pretty good.

Well, I detest Obamacare. But, we do have problems that need solving, such as runaway costs and those who cannot get health insurance.

But, I was speaking more to education. Our system keeps reforming itself with grandiose programs like "No Child Left Behind" and now "Race to the Top," all of which have their own pluses and minuses, but which are really just window dressing for an irredeemable system. The Blob rolls on, devouring whole cities in its wake . . . cities like Detroit.
