If public expenditures are a measure of public values, then Americans spend all their time afraid. Afraid of criminals. Afraid of terrorists. Afraid of the nebulous "other".
Apparently they are NOT afraid of: dying of cancer because they have no health care, hunger or ignorance.
Quick question: are you more likely to come across an ignorant person or a terrorist today?
Americans: We suck at risk assessment!
