The fix may take a long time, but the bigger problem is there are no workable ideas for a fix. It's not like better education hasn't been thought of, attempted, and tons of money dumped into it. Results have been mixed at best.

Better education works elsewhere, so it's probably not where the problem is.

US education is broken because so much of the $ gets soaked up to pay pensions.

Ok, so let's just do that then, sounds easy.

If you want the British to take back control of the USA so that the British can enforce the superior* British education system onto the USA, that would be very very funny to watch, but I don't think it would be "easy" — especially when people realise it means no guns in schools or anywhere else.

* The British system may not be superior, I left uni in 2006 and the UK in 2018, and UK politicians have been fiddling with education seemingly forever.

But that just means you should substitute whichever country is doing education best at the moment; the point is, even obviously correct things are still hard in the world of politics.

Did I give the impression that better education is sufficient to solve the problem?

All true, but now the endgame is just about here. Those chickens be clucking!
