It is all a matter of percentages. How much of the treasury should be spent on national defense and how much should be spent on education. I think that schools should be privatized and attendance optional. It does not take that much to educate a child. My grandfather didn't go beyond 8th grade but he did well. Parents and private individuals can educate children. Education can be done at the local, if not individual, level. Yet, I doubt that loosely knit individuals can provide a national defense. It requires a centralized organization and federalized system. Such a system requires lots of money.
