Cuddled masses?I know Obama is supposed to be the answer to everyone's problems but I don't think free cuddles for everyone are also included. Seriously though, I would agree with the sentiment that those in the west are certainly a mollycoddled lot.
If there is to be massive spending then lets direct it toward areas that will yield significant growth and national competitive advantage. Lets subsidize the R&D budgets for tech, bio tech and pharma, lets pump money in to science education in this country from middle school to grad school. Stuff like that, not just the unimaginative tired old roads and bridges mantra. Do we want a nation of subsidized laborers or a nation where high value jobs are created due to innovation for the highly educated due to better funding of science education.
Growth is the only answer to our problems and technology and innovation is the only way to achieve that growth.
