America will increasingily become a country of have and have nots....the correct term for it is a FOURTH WORLD COUNTRY...

Education is the key...Andy Grove has pointed out that Americans have become soft and are taking the easy Liberal Arts classes instead of the Math, Science classes needed to keep America competive....part of it is that we have been a wealthy country for too long...more than 2 generations now and everybody EXPECTS to own a mansion in Beverly Hills because they are owed it...and that we have gone too far down the road of socialism...our failing eduction system is a good example of socialism at work...
