If our schools and healthcare system looked like Norway's, then we wouldn't have to worry about what style of prison system to put our children into.

Didn't say anything about money. But . . .
In 2022, NJ spent $29.8 billion on K-12 schooling.
The most recent data I could get for Norway was 2020. They spent about 10% of their GDP on education. This amounts to about $36 billion.

So a single state in the USA almost spent as much in education as the entire country of Norway?

Per Capita is the important metric here. Don't be obtuse.

Bless you for even holding their hand to this point.

Yeah but in fairness this single state’s population nearly doubles Norway’s population
