Not sure if and when the states failed in education. But the federal government started expanding after personal income tax was levied in the early 20th century. Government CANNOT run a surplus. If it did, that means tax rates are too high and people will demand the money be returned. Therefore politicians think of schemes to spend every single last cent, and then some, to justify the tax rate.
