In this episode, I dive into the fundamental flaws and real crisis of the educational system in the US.  How can 54% of people, 17-74, only have a literacy rate of that of a Grade 6 student??  How can this be the most powerful, wealthy and industrious nation in the world with that as their foundation?  Why would we NOT want to pour money into the future of our society?  Is this the beginning of the end of an empire?  Huge questions...painful answers...but necessary conversations.
