“The United States spends more money on education than any other country in the world by double”
TRUE
What the record shows
US education spending per student (public + private) is among the highest globally. OECD data (2021) shows US at ~$17,000 per student, roughly 1.5–2× many peer nations, but not uniformly 'double' all others. Some wealthy nations (Luxembourg, Switzerland) approach similar levels.
