The provisions for highly skilled workers enjoy support in both parties in the Senate and in the Bush administration after a raft of high-profile studies have warned that the United States is not producing enough math and science students and is in danger of losing its global edge in innovation to India and China.

Whose gosh-dammed fault is that? The same Congre$$ that sits on its dead arse while we are invaded across 2 borders constantly, yet rewards all comers with benefits and then wonders why it can't teach Johnny to read as it cares for a fifth of Mexico's and other countries donor "migrants" to the US ? It's called Priorities.. this country needs to get some before it has no options left... nor any elected officials willing to go to bat for America FiRst and not the global vision thing.

Whose gosh-dammed fault is that?

Lazy students who don't want to take on the challenge of math and science courses and instead go on to major in women's studies and sociology, that's whose fault it is.

That's right: THE US DOESN'T GRADUATE ENOUGH MATH AND SCIENCE STUDENTS BECAUSE THE STUDENTS DON'T WANT TO TAKE THEM AND DON'T WANT THE CHALLENGE. They're used to entitlement, they're used to getting something for nothing, and they sure as heck don't want to hit the books when they can have more time to party, and besides they don't want to be seen as nerds. And that is their perogative.

But don't demand inflated wages just to get a few more Americans interested, when US companies are trying to compete globally. It's the union mentality all over again. Make jobs in the US as high-paying as possible until they all disappear because we're at a competitive disadvantage.
