Hey, why work hard and innovate when you can sit on your ass, watching TV and getting food stamps, subsidized housing, Obamacare and other free benefits paid for by “the rich”????

This is a pretty stupid article.
This is what it ultimately comes down to: “We need to aggressively recruit talented engineers, scientists and tech entrepreneurs from overseas.”
Another pro-immigration screed.
Moving patent time to 5 years is ludicrous. The current 20 years starts at filing so that it is never 20 years exclusivity. It can be as low as five for something marketed. It often takes 5 years to get responses from the PO.
He selectively removes certain companies or sectors from economic considerations and then talks how bad things are without those data included.
But he does not do the same thing when talking about the US being 30th in math. Why does he not selectively removed data in that assessment! How does the US fare if black and Hispanic student data is not included?

"and crack the calculus text."
Sorry, but no. Our math curriculum puts far too much emphasis on the math of continuous functions for our modern, digital age.
We need to spend more time on discrete math and linear algebra, and not so much on calculus.

Maybe. But more breakthrough research comes out of US unversities than anywhere else in the world (especially in medicine), and US-based companies set the world standard for the Internet, cellphones (after all, the iPhone and Google's Android phone OS were both developed in the USA) and unlike Airbus, Boeing has "hit it out of the park" with the 777-300ER and upcoming 777-8 and 777-9 models, the true successor to the 747.
