If we keep trying to borrow that much from overseas--as you've probably gathered, selling debt means borrowing money--today's quality problems may soon seem petty. For now, we can still reassure buyers around the world by slapping that GUARANTEED label on our debt. But as financial crisis and economic slowdown cause government debts to burgeon, and as commitments to Social Security and Medicare loom closer as baby boomers retire, that confidence could easily fade...

With a talented and wealthy crop of students leaving the public school system every year for greener pastures, it’s become far too easy to simply label that system “broken” and follow suit. Renewed community-wide participation in state education would be accompanied by a sense of urgency to fix that system’s myriad problems.
