Um, first of all congrats on graduating high school.
Secondly, dump everything you learned about the US being a representative government. It belongs more or less entirely to wealthy corporate overlords. Every descision it makes is in their interests. The end goal is to have no middle class, no unions, just all the currently wealthy even wealthier leaving the rest of us in servitude to them.
Once you look at things this way you will realize that all the "stupid" descisions the US goverment makes on everything from trade, to foreign policy, to domestic programs suddenly make perfect sense.
If I were you I would drop out of flight school and go into finance. Seriously.
