Unfortunately of the top 20 universities in the world, 18 are still in the US.
The US primary and secondary education system may be shit, but our gradulate programs are still by far the best in the world, and other country's free education system often serves as subsidies for the US because the product of their education tax dollars serve to produce well trained students who than come to the US for graduate school and then stay here.
Perhaps in the future the US would consist of two classes. Down trodden native populations failed by the domestic primary and secondary education system doom to a life of burger flipping and walmart shelf stocking, ruled over by a technocratic elite born in other countries and benefiting from other countrie's education systems, who then come here to get their masters and PhDs to rule over the natives.
