it's a fact that our Country hasn't really moved forward in the last few years in the same way we went to the moon or created the Tennessee Valley Authority.

With a truly globalized market and China becoming a true economic, political and military superpower, what ideas do you have for moving our Country forward, staying competitive, etc.?

I've posted many times, but my top 3 are:
A national high-speed data infrastructure necessary to keep our businesses competitive in a global market and all of our citizens, from the the inner city poor to the suburbar middle class connected, informed, and educated at rates 60 times our current infrastructure.

A "Transportation Energy Independence" program on the scale of The New Deal taking advantage of both government and innovative free market intellectual property databanks such that in 5 years we will reduce our dependence on foreign oil for transportation by 35%?

A topshelf education system in which teachers are held accountable and the very best ones are just breaking 6 figure salaries, every student has a computer that is theirs to keep, every student has books, "music class" and fully funded after-school programs.


What is on your list to make our Country great in the next 25 years?
