You are an idiot. We aren't the greatest at everything. There are many things we excel at. However the discussion was about public education, where things are not going well. I also brought in healthcare, where in some metrics we are doing poorly - namely how many people do we cover.
I know it must be easy to be some knee jerk douchebag right winger where it's 'Ra Ra Murica' at everything, but we can learn in some instances from foreign methods.
For some unskilled laborer positions we are clearly not hiring foreigners because of a great education system. This has to do with more skilled workers.
I thought that was a simple enough concept that it would be understood. Obviously not for dumbfuck righties though.
