Can you Name a Single Successful Government Program?

Where is your independent evidence for how public schools aren't successful? Because the literacy rate went down at the beginning of their inception? The literacy rate of kids age 15 or younger today, because of public schools and the availability of education, is 99%. Pretty successful if you ask me.

The burden of proof is on the person making the claim that something works, not the person asking for the proof.

The burden of proof is on the person making a claim, in general. Making a claim that public schools do not work and not backing it up with any evidence shows to me that you lack that evidence. But even then, I did provide evidence to show how well-educated American children are and how well the public school system is working.
