Republican BS

Ok I get it. We fund, through our taxes, chip research so you can ship the jobs overseas and they can reap the benifits. Sounds like a Republican plan to me.

It's worked for Big Oil!

We give them billions in tax breaks and they give us, gasoline
for the amazingly low price of $3/gallon.

The idea is simple: give big, rich corporations our tax dollars
and they'll produce for us! What's good for Corporate America is
good for America. Of course, that's way too simplistic for today's
economy where there is no longer any such thing as Corporate
America (they're all multi-national), but that won't stop
Republicans from pushing it on us.

Math Skills?

Why would any right thinking american student waste their time getting engineering or math skills? They already know if they did that down the road they would be replaced by an alien with an H1B visa. They may even have to train their replacement. The real problem is that companies are controlled by evil greedy self-serving individuals with obscene salaries and perks and no imagination. All they know how to do is please similar get-rich-quick stockholders. Good riddance Ken Lay and may others soon follow!
