Here's your flame bro.

"increase spending on education. a better educated workforce is more productive, and better qualified for the work."

We are overspending on education. Kids are stupid and have been given a free ride for so long that they don't feel the need to work or be smart, they're still entitled. Ever try to read what younger folks are writing? It's about as smart as ebonics, fail.


"the costs of healthcare have driven our manufacturing base into the toilet."

I don't buy that being the only reason. I may be wrong but I'll bet it's more regulations that harm manufacturing. The government has gotten so big that there are no more checks and balances.

I read the That's Outrageous column last night in Reader's Digest. In the last paragraph the author said that the people need to watch the politicians and what they are doing. WE CAN'T ANYMORE! It's hidden and no one has time to listen to any more than 15 second sound bites.

BTW, short of installing a bunch of old time farmers in DC, I have no idea how to fix the mess we are in. Just speculating like the rest.
