    I’d much rather look a simple sorted table or a bar chart.

    For me the country outlines don’t add anything of value and they aren’t too scale either with arbitrary rotations mixed in. Spending is on a strictly one dimensional scale yet the graphic implies some concentric (2-dimensional) pattern.

    Remember, just because the money is spent, it doesn’t mean it is spent well. I’m sure a lot of the US dollars are fed into sports programs and other spending, and not directly towards efforts that would benefit the most students or workers.

    Canadian average is about 1 or 2 thousand less than that from the last info I could find a few weeks ago
