I will allow you to provide the Latin phrase to describe the logical fallacy you just used.

I see that you do not want to discuss the invalid statistics in your link. I understand.

Would you like to explain why it is your OPINION that the statistics used in the video are "invalid?"

In fact, why don't you provide what you THINK are some valid statistics?

Because they modify the actual numbers by using relative to GDP. That is not an opinion, it is a fact. I thought I made that abundantly evident.

It is your subject. It is your job to provide real numbers. Not mine.

What the relationship of a nation's spending on a given item to that nation's GDP demonstrates is that nation's priority, or lack thereof.

Not really. It is only a relative number. Nothing more. The amount spent per pupil would be a better statistic. But then that would probably not show what your union buddies want to be seen.

Why shouldn't we wonder why "the richest country in the world" has grown the "highest poverty rate?" (according to the video)

Are the poverty rates determined by the same criteria in terms of human needs.

Why, if the US educational success results are "stable/stationary" and other nations are increasing at a fast rate, why are our's stationary?
