Your "thought process" (for lack of a more accurate term) is weird.
It is not the "purpose" of government to make sure we have smart people. It is also not the "purpose" of government to make sure people are well fed. Nor is it the "purpose" of government to make sure citizens are well-rounded.
Yes. That is true. For the last 30 years your party has definitely made sure our government is not interested in things like infrastructure development (which education is most definitely a cornerstone of).
And look what those 30 years has gotten us!

I know that since Conservatives hate critical thinking and intellectualism, you may not care. But where do you think this country is headed if we end up being predominantly stupid and ignorant? You want to know why we're falling behind? Education. You want to fix America, fix education first. If you want to further **** us over, keep giving money to the rich folks instead.
This doesn't even address your simplistic, bombastic, absurd rhetoric about bombing people.
How much bigger is the Defense budget than the DOE budget? That's my point, fuckstick. I know you don't care because at your age you've done learned all the shit you're gonna learn, Hoss. But some of us don't want our kids to grow up around the stupids. It's bad enough WE had to.
The purpose of the American Government is to serve those LIMITED purposes for which we crafted the Federal government and for which we permit the Federal government to exist. And to put it more succinctly to clear all of this up for you, it IS the purpose of government to attend to the things we need collectively to enable us to TAKE THE **** CARE OF OUR OWN NEEDS. A law-crafting branch? Check. An executive branch to put into effect those laws that meet the test of Constitutional LIMITATIONS? Check. A Judicial branch to help referee appropriate disputes? Check. A military to protect us from militant enemies? Check. Common roads to make commerce do-able? Check. Maybe a postal service? Check.
Look, I can tell that human evolution passed you up, but what you need to realize here is that you're on the losing side of history, mothafucka. This is how it works, Liberals push human progress to the point that real change is made, and then you Conservative twats spend 30 years chipping away at it. I get that's what makes you scared. And angry. But you will lose. You always do. Because natural human evolution dictates that we move away from the old and towards the new. Gay people aren't all pedophiles and criminals, pot isn't like Heroin, and you guys again, will lose.
Go peruse the Founding and Framing documents, you ass hat. When you find the parts that call upon the government to serve us as a nanny, hurry back. Until then, you have more pressing things to do with your time. Educating yourself is WAY the **** up on the list. For it is a lock-certain guarantee that you have NO concept about the true "purpose" off OUR government.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, dickface. Those three are the real mandates not just of the government, but of the nation itself. Those mandates are why the founding documents are living documents; open to edits, revisions and changes. We down own black people in this country, anymore. But dumbfucks in your movement would have argued in the 1860s, "Show me in the founding and framing documents where it says black people shouldn't be property."
The founders' biggest mistake was in assuming the American people wouldn't become half-stupid by this time. Had they seen your average Red State voter, they'd probably have just mailed a white flag back to Britain with a note that says, "Why ******* bother?"
