Good luck.  You'd need to decipher what the Department of Education spent at the federal level.  You'll have to figure out each state's budget.  Then you'll have to figure out at the local level for the whole state.  That's just the government schools.  I have no idea how you'd figure out how much civilian schools spend.  Would you could home schooling as worthless?

I dont know the exact amount spent on each. But I can tell you that the national debt is now around $8,000,000,000,000 and that every day the US government spends roughly one billion dollars on the military alone. By the way, all this money, the government is borrowing it from China. Sorry I cant help you anymore than that.\n\n\npeace

Technically, there is not a problem with literacy in the United States.  Virtually everyone can read and write.\n\nHowever, there are these people online who, it seems, cannot form a complete sentence.  I think mostly they are just kids and they are trying to seem 'cool'.  At least, I really hope so.\n\nJust because the United States is a literate country, though, does not mean that all literate people have good grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.  Unfortunately, good grammar skills seem to be growing more and more rare -- at least, it seems that way on sites like this.

Hmm.. 44 billion dollars, 6.5 billion people, You  have under $7 per person to work with, so there is little you can do that will change the whole word by spending the money on individual people.\n\nI would plow the money into research, targeted at improving agriculture, health, and education. I would try to leverage the 44 billion by seeking matching grants and by seeking programs that are currently in progress but in need of additional funds.

So far the American Government has spent $275 BILLION dollors on the War in Iraq!\n\nApproximately:\n28.5% of your Federal Taxes go to the military, that was in 2005. I can imagine now it's like 35%.\n\nBut, the American Army can kill the Chinese, if we let our Army rebuild, and give it some time. We can end them communists!

Literacy:   \ndefinition: age 15 and over can read and write \ntotal population: 99% \nmale: 99% \nfemale: 99% (2003 est.)  \n\nand  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy\n\nRecently the National Council of Teachers of English and the International Reading Association have added "visually representing" to the list of communicative competences that are considered to constitute literacy.\n\nAnd  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy#The_United_States\n\nIn the United States, one in seven people (more than 40 million people) can barely read a job offer or utility bill, which arguably makes them functionally illiterate in a developed country such as the US. In 2003, the National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL), conducted by the US Department of Education, found that fourteen percent of American adults scored at this “below basic” level in prose literacy.\n\nSo you can see that there is STILL a problem defining what "literate" is..\n\nPersonally, I think that you have to be able to read AND comprehend to be literate  so it does drop the % because most people can't understand monthly bills nor correctly fill out a job application\n\nHow many high school grads do you know who could truely understand the basics of real life decisions   choosing the best medical insurance- homeowners ins- mortgage rates and fees-(not just the cost) or understand the conditions and terms on most documents that have to be signed ???\n\nNow think about other US areas  the poor  etc  and would you believe that our rate is 99% literate?  Not! (I guess the PR stats people for the USA mean who can read the alphabet)

This is a difficult question to answer because the data would be hard to find.  If by "reading problems" you mean dyslexia, etc., there is no way you're going to find an answer.  People, especially adults, with such problems will not be eager to admit to the problem.  If by "reading problems" you mean illiteracy, US's illiteracy rate is about 1-2% (along with most other industrialized countries).\n\nYou can get pretty high up, too, with reading problems.  Check out this article from last November: http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/11/11/news/profile.php\nHead coach of the Montreal Canadians admitted to being illiterate.
