Lets see, China is buying away all our scientists... where do you think we will be in 30 years compared to them?
When will the US govt decide once again to be something other than a military machine. India, China, elsewhere. I know an a lot of people my age who have left for the higher pay and better benefits found in these places. I just don't see how we can hope to possibly be a top dog in the world when we are cheap in anything except military spending. The US is kind of like the guy who doesn't have enough money for shoes, but spends a pile of money on the top-of-the-line Mercedes Benz. We spend as much as the next ten countries combined to have a Mercedes Benz military, meanwhile, we don't have money to buy shoes. PRETTY SAD SET OF AFFAIRS> 2011/5/22 Aaron T.
