CMV: Every problem in the US can be solved with more education funding.

Poverty 
Sensible Gun control 
Bigotry 
Racism 
Obesity
Drug and opioid crisis

Even climate change! 

Studies have shown that the more educated people are, the more money they make, the less likely they are to mistreat other people, and the more hygienic they are. Educated people have better critical thinking skills that allow them to vote for a better candidate, not just the one they’re told to vote for. 

The education we are providing isn’t good enough  for the standards that we should be setting for our kids, and it’s all a result of a lack of funding. More money pays for better teachers, who teach people to be more innovative and create things that will help us in the future, as well as people who can teach the next generation. Funding also allows for better materials to help people understand things better and more quickly so that people can learn more in less time. 

I challenge you to come up with a problem that the US has that can’t be fixed by having a better educated populous.

Education, and in particular its funding has never been and will never be the "silver bullet" to all our problems. Thinking it will be drastically misunderstands the problems found within both the culture and educational system.

First off simply pumping more funding into the education system will do nothing. What needs to be done with that is broad scale educational and taxational reforms to how we deal with the whole system.

> Obesity, opioid crisis, climate change

So first things first these three problems are interesting in part because they hit people across all socioeconomic boundaries. Its not just the uneducated that are fat, or having problems with opiods. And climate change needs substantial change across the power grid as well as tons of funding. Better education won't inherently make that better.

So this is kinda a correlation leads to causation problem. You are listing all these things acting like they are because of the education, rather than the education causing them to get to a position where these things are required. There isn't a direct link but a coralry link.

On top of that the reason they make more money deals in supply and demand. Since you would be raising the supply of educated individuals the demand would go down thus the pay would go down. Just saying its not as simple as education -> money (I wish it were as a struggling grad student). 

>The education we are providing isn’t good enough for the standards that we should be setting for our kids, and it’s all a result of a lack of funding. 

As has been pointed out we actually have spend more money per student than many countries. Its not the funding that inherently is a problem.
