The good news for the rest of us was good health care and good schools and it didn't cost much. Since they couldn't work elsewhere, nurses and teachers were willing to work for very low wages.

Congress and the president are debating to improve the schools are nice. Problem-solving around the edges.
Good schools are the product of good teaching.
