Would it suit you better if I said we spend more on entertainment than on education? 

Sure. Are there any hard numbers for that, though?

I didn't spend a ton of time and I still have questions:

What all falls into the Entertainment bucket?

Does the Education bucket include any government spending and is it primary  and/ or secondary education?

But according to this report :https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/consumer-expenditures/2015/home.htm in the U.S. at least, consumers in 2015 spent 2,842 on entertainment while only spending 1,315 on education.

I was having a hard time finding an apples to apples comparison otherwise.
