Since we were the best thing since sliced bread, we did not have to: our exceptionalism would smooth everything out, just like our great GDP growth would take care of deficits for 30 years or more.
Here's a question: can you really educate a people who believe in the concept of "American exceptionalism"? For doesn't education bring one to the realization that there really isn't such a thing? Americans base their entire world view on a set of comforting myths. But then that's what you're saying, isn't it?

We never educated people properly.
