Global Capitalism has been painful to adjust to.

The biggest problems we have now is in education.

Employers refuse to relocate here, no matter the enticements, because the labor pool is too shallow in people who can run automated machines that require minimum math skills and ability to key in data, measure length and width accurately and the like.

Skill sets are lacking in science, engineering and tech for the service industries that we could get if we had skills to offer.

So you like Dubya and Laura turning their attention to getting the kids to take more math and science in high school? And Laura helping States and communities learn about stay in school programs that are working in other cities and areas?
