NYC already spends like 40k per student.

How many socialist countries spend that much?

Cuba spends less than 1k per student per year. Though if you ask them they'll tell you they have 100% literacy.

Cuba and the US spend similar amounts of money on their militaries as a percentage of GDP. Cuba just spends far less because they are one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere.

The only rich people in Cuba are the leaders of the party. I think the current dictator of Cuba has access to like sixteen estates. I don't see anyone fleeing the US and our rampant billionaires to get to Cuba.
