But how do you get students really interested in math and science?

Everytime Bush opens his mouth he spends my money. Price theory will guarantee that we have enough math and science majors and/or investment, not central planners.

Does anyone here think that this money, apart from a total overhaul of the public school system, will solve our competitiveness problem with China in the next ten years.

Actually if he wants to spend some tax payers money...how about on the wounded soldiers the Army takes punitive action against...

This is why I agree with Tony Snow, that the SOTU speech was a 'C'.

President Calls For Spending Restraint

[MineralMan]

"High-tech leaders praised the proposal Tuesday night."

I'm sure they did. Now, if we can get them to stop sending tech jobs to India and other countries, there might be some work for all these kids.

President Bush sure is generous . . . with our money.

Bush's plan includes longtime priorities of the high-tech industry and echoes calls made by academic and business leaders in reports on competitiveness dating back to 2004. The initiative also mirrors congressional proposals, including an extensive ``Innovation Agenda'' unveiled by Democrats in the House of Representatives in November.

What a joke. These guys are responsible for creating the mindset that only the foreign-born are qualified to do high-tech work and that Americans need not apply.

Far too many attack this move, while many of these same Freepers post here about how "outsourcing" is killing our economy. One cannot have it both ways!

This move will improve a literate and world class technical workforce for our future.

Anyone here have another idea to increase math and science skills in our school systems? If you do, what are the details, and how will YOU fund it???

Spend Spend Spend. And it's New Spending New Spending New Spending.

What are the dems so upset about? President Bush has grown the federal government consistently at 2-3 times the inflation rate. Democrat Republican, I'm straining to see a difference.
