How many billions do we spend on education for such piss poor results?The money is achieving the results intended. The leftist leadership wants plebes.

Actually the correct answer is Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

We heard 10,000,000 during the Reagan Years. Plenty of time to raise 2.5 kids per couple. Are the children of illegals legal? There has been a steady flow across the border since.

Only with government and communism is failure meant to require more funding... like a stubborn ponzy schemer.

That's all just symptomatic. God told us that the world would degenerate into a cesspool before Jesus comes back to set things straight. While I can't divorce myself fro this sorry world we live in, and the politics that is destroying it, I understand that things will continue to deteriorate and spiral downward until such time as He decides to pop back in for a visit.
We are doomed and cannot regain what we have lost - He has made the edict and His Word will be done.
We can gyrate around and get excited about politics and the destruction of the moral fiber that used to bind things together, but we cannot set things right. Knowing this helps me sleep at night because I feel helpless to try to right the wrongs being committed against us by the Left and those who support it.

Actually, and seriously now, the three branches of government are:
1. The People
2. The Several States
3. Federal
Says so right in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These are the three due to Federalism as the backbone.

How many billions do we spend on education for such piss poor results? It's not the current state of education that's at fault, after all, they don't survey children. My kids are 14 and 15 years old and they and their friends (the ones that come here anyway) know the answers to all those questions but many of my friends probably would not and I'm 69 years old.
Many people remain ignorant because they just don't care.

The original contention was ...
One in three Americans can't name a single branch of the U.S. government
... so would, I think, be looking only at what you denominated "3. Federal."

Yep, I was stretching the question a bit, from US government to just plain “government”.
So, a bit facetious... but makes a point.

Once it is possible for those without ‘skin in the game’ to vote, the outcome is inevitable. It may be quick or slow, but inevitable.

How many billions do we spend on education for such piss poor resWe spend those billions so as to produce those results. Those results are exactly the point of federal control over education.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
That is an ill-rational conclusion, the survey results just say what we have long known from on the spot interviews. Most people particularly New Yorkers are profoundly ignorant and disinterested in the details of their country.
This is more a statement of the distractions of everyday life than anything else. The problem is when theses people are coned into voting without bothering to make themselves informed.
The long and short answer is theses people will only take the time to get informed when things start to get back from them and it is obviously the Governments fount. Until then their own personal lives and jobs take up all their attention and time and frankly that is a highly desirable way to live, even thou its a bit civily shortsighted.
