As a thought experiment, which founding father would deny education to a nation so rich it only takes a small fraction of its wealth to educate every single citizen?

It seems pretty obvious to me that it would always be more expensive to try to address the problems that result from a lack of education/basic socialization. Whether you try to address those problems via government, or not.

As another thought experiment, which nation has succeeded globally without it?

We're in a new world, now, man.
