We know how to provide national health insurance without overrationing medicine or bankrupting the society—it happens every day in Canada and France and Germany. We know how to end gun violence—Australia did it, neatly and essentially overnight. We certainly know how to end an epidemic of crime without incarcerating everybody. Really know. More people ought to know it, too. Higher education should not belong to an elite, and the education of the public should not be seen as an elitist activity.
