French is indeed saying that. Where do you suggest the over 90 million Americans who are currently out of the labor force move ?

The failures, as someone suggested, are indeed the logical results of stupid policies. The problem is aggravated by the fact that most of our "leaders," are simply blind to the fuller context of their decisions. The "unintended consequences" reflect the patent ignorance of the planners.

As for people having to leave their communities, where their roots are--having to abandon cultural heritages, which in many instances go back for many generations? That is not an acceptable solution in a land where many of the original settlements were motivated by people who desired a particular cultural path--often Faith motivated.

As for hardships? Consider the hardships of those who originally built some of those communities in a wilderness.

The arrogance of those who would dismiss other Americans' ties to particular American heritages, as something trivial to be easily abandoned, is rather offensive. It of course fits in nicely with crack-pots like Bill Kristol's indifference to American values.

They're supposed to enroll at Stanford and CalTech, and begin second careers as coders.
