Depressing. Corporate welfare is up, up, up! Investment in education? LOL!

Hey, but we don't want those jobs, right? Let them go to India.

Goodness knows the last thing we want is 'barriers to trade'.

"(Intel Corp. chief executive Craig R. Barrett) also cautioned against erecting global barriers to commerce, a response to mounting concerns that technology and other companies are transferring tens of thousands of support center, data entry and software engineering jobs overseas to take advantage of lower wages."

When 50% of math, science and engineering grad students are foreign, you'll realize the problem. The dumbing down of America is quite visible. What we need is a long term plan for those folks to become US Citizens or they'll go home and eat our lunch.

3. Disagree strongly

I prefer to improve our education system, and invest in our own children, thanks.

4. Kick

Is this not a huge campaign issue?
