If you do not want to pay for all of those "non-gifted" children then you will pay when they are in prison. There have been many studies showing this. Also, my son is in special ed. He has an above average IQ, has a vocab level that is 12th grade level but is only reading at 3rd grade level. I pay a lot of money for special tutoring as the educators cant teach him because they refuse to follow the education plans provided to them. Most children in special ed are just like my son. My brother also had the same issues. He barely made it out of high school, but as soon as he started attending collage he got the services he needed and started making the deans list. This is typical of the special ed programs in the US. Maybe instead of being a Nazi and just making these kids "flip" burgers you should look at trying to help them. Oh, by the Albert Einstein had Dyslexia just like my son.
Why don't we get even more ridiculous, who was it that rebuild Europe after WWII? None of that money will ever get paid back. Remember the Marshall plan? Europe would have starved in the aftermath of when Europe didn't stand up to a Dictator. When are you going to pay us back?? I think you owe us far more than we owe you. That is what makes this whole discussion stupid.
The UN is the worst body to govern anything more complicated than when to turn on the lights in the morning. Americans have a deep seated aversion to taxation without representation we have fought two wars (Revolutionary War and the war 1812) over foreign powers meddling in our affairs. That is where most of this comes from. I understand that most Europeans hate us now, and anything that hits us is good idea. But always remember this; a lot of Americans died in Europe to help you with a purely European matter (WWI and WWII) and we resent the fact that you forget so easily. I have relatives I never met as they are buried in Normandy. If France or Britain ever stood up to Germany Millions of lives would have been saved. We came in a bailed you out, without ANY resentment and paid millions to rebuild your cities, even our enemies.
I am not your enemy and I strongly disagree with my government as do most Americans. Some people made a wrong choice in November and now we all a paying the price. Maybe you Europeans should read a little history and see when you got us into a big mess we never held it against you and do the same for us.
