Why the federal government? All we'll get is some PC gobble-de-gook (note the scientific language) that will spend a lot of money and only make things worse.
Good post and what our politicians need to read. Globalization
is what Government needs to prepare us for.
Too little, too late. That train already left the station.
The Government can create high quality jobs? Who knew?
· Policy-makers should provide a one-year automatic visa extension that allows international students to remain in the United States to seek employment if they have received doctorates or the equivalent in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or other fields of national need from qualified U.S. institutions.
Just another example of an initiative that seems to be doing the opposite of what it says it is about on its face.
This says it all. The lawyers are making everything too expensive. Stupid corrupt lawsuits are draining funds, and forcing more companies over seas. You can fight competition, you can fight the government, but you can't fight law suits.
If America wants Chemical Companies and Engineering firms to compete (on a number basis) with China, graduates will have to work for $15,000 a year salary, and NO perks, No health care, No company car, No 401k, No 6 week paid vacation etc.
I read recently where Microsoft stated that Indian Engineers were good at structure, but were unimaginative, and were not able to "think outside of the box". For this reason, most of their real R&D is still located in Redmund.

Jobs? The only jobs the government creates are lawyers, accountants, professional college students and a host of other types of businesses that suck at the government teat or owe their existence to the stroke of the mighty government pen.
Sounds like targeted tariffs are just what the country needs.
Big Government's solutions to issues is like snake oil. When it fails to cure the problem, you must not have taken enough and just need more.
Why young American students should pay tens of thousands BORROWED dollars and waste several years and be expected to work "five" or "11" times harder or be be paid "five" or "11" less. Then after age forty to be on the street being told "why did not start your own business?".
The ultimate goal is to create new, high-quality jobs for all citizens by developing new industries that stem from the ideas of exceptional scientists and engineers.
Why these "new industries" should start in USA if building them in China/India is cheaper?
Oh no! The Feds want to "help" us.
A big problem is that too many American kids go into the liberal arts and wind up getting useless degrees like Black Lesbian Studies. Or the kids that are smart don't go into science and engineering. They go into the medical field where the same science background is needed. The U.S. does have top graduate schools, but we are producing advanced degrees for outher nations. We have the reputation for creative thinking in the sciences and a lot of Asians come here for graduate work because that creativity is lacking in their home countries. It also doesn't help that there aren't many good science teachers in the K-12 schools. And it doesn't help when political considerations are trying to get science courses changed to reflect religious values. That just fuels arguements and doesn't do anything to advance science education.
YES!!
We DO need a broader Federal Effort!!
The Feds need to GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!
What makes these committee members think they can engage in economic planning any better than the Soviets could?
Last year chemical companies shuttered 70 facilities in the United States and have tagged 40 more for closure. Of 120 chemical plants being built around the world with price tags of $1 billion or more, one is in the United States and 50 are in China. ......This is directly due to the costs. OF ENVIRONMENTAL, DOT AND EPA REGULATIONS. Get the government out of the way and the jobs will follow.
Set the corporate income tax rate to zero. Problem solved.
