My answer to that highly educated comment is that the US has a lot of highly educated people. Whether they are really smart and capable is another question to look into. Many of our politicians claim to be highly educated but they can not seem to prove it with their work.
Education does not count for many as they can't seem to handle the jobs. One of the US's billionaire's has only a portion of higher education. He was smarter than many for his business skills and how to lead a company from 'who are they' to one very well known name of Micro Soft. Education does not count for much, it is how you handle yourself and your responsibilities that seems to work best. Look to Einstein and his accepted education and smarts. Truly a smart person and educated but he had no idea how to do much at all. He was lost in the world of theories and through his ideas many other much more practical persons developed atom bombs and factories to make the ingredients. No way for Einstein to do all that himself. He was a thinker, not a doer. Both thinkers and doers are needed in today's societies.
This is how I see things.
