Both of the Big Stupid Government parties are completely insane and out of control. We're about the reap the whirlwind of their stupidity.

[MNJohnnie]

These people are nuts. Just wacko insane DNC Talking points babble here, nothing at all serious or thoughtful.

They demand innovation and then look to the government for it... Duh...

Increased broadband is about economics and technology. Not some government decree... Get cracken and boost my bandwidth!

We are falling further and further behind in innovation," said Doerr. He reeled off six problems that he says will cause the U.S. to lose leadership in technology and innovation if they aren't addressed: a neglected educational system; insufficient research and development; a lackadaisical push for high-speed Internet access or broadband; an anti-free-trade attitude; poorly organized health care; and the absence of a plan for lessening U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources.

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... Don't all these topics sound just like Liberal/Democratic Talking Points?

The lack of innovation can be cured by opening up Alien Technology Valut L-3379 in the basemant of Area 51.

It won't be opened now, because Nerdy Silicon Valley Techno-Geeks are speaking out of turn!

Or we could just focus on making the Predator, Pilotless Drones and the Airborn Chemical Laser the Weapons Platforms of The Future.

Jack.

Education? They are right education is a problem, but who has solutions to fix it?

Doerr called for setting a goal -- matching one of the innovation-promoting proposals put forward by the Democratic Party the same day -- of adding 100,000 new engineers and scientists in the U.S. in the next four years. Yet specifics on the topic didn't emerge.

Of course not. Because no one can talk specifics on a subject where the highest concentration of talent is found among white and Asian guys.

"...said Doerr. He reeled off six problems that he says will cause the U.S. to lose leadership in technology and innovation if they aren't addressed: a neglected educational system; . . . an anti-free-trade attitude;..."

The "educational" system is getting more than enough attention from overly feminized, socialist corporates, and that's what's wrong with it. As for the "anti-free-trade" comment, is Doerr afraid of the effects of unbalanced foreign trade: our inevitably falling dollar (higher costs of foreign labor, rising freight fuel costs,...) and obvious risks to security?

Why is it these business leaders feel they have some special right to dictate to us what we may do?

Basically, it seems these people want more subsidies and for us to change our immigration laws to favor them.
