No, not at all. What I'm saying is that our economy is changing into the information age, and we have to change with it. We simply can't compete with China in terms of pumping out endless numbers of cheap sneakers.

we can't afford have all the industries here and pay good wages, the cost of living for Americans are to high to maintain an industrial society.

Throughout this post you have been saying the problem is that we are not educated and smart enough to compete with Asia, your original solution was to fix the education problem. Now you are saying that all that does not matter because we can't compete on a wage basis. So what would be the point of an American spending 4 years getting an Engineering degree if he/she could not compete with an Asian on a wage basis.

By the way what exactly is an information age? What kind of jobs would be available for Americans?
