Funny you should mention quality public education. That does not exist in any meaningful sense in most of the US anymore, either. This was a deliberate destruction committed by libertarians brought to us with a trojan known as charter schools. In some states, such as the one I live in, the destruction is reaching completion. Several public districts have been disolved within this last year, leaving families having to chose a neighboring public district of dubious quality (space permitting) or largely for-profit charter schools of questionable quality.
