In the end, Bush will be done in by his incompetency.

Your hero.

Tough darts.

In any event, Bush will be done in by the expiration of his term. Time to
start thinking about a successor, from both sides or more.

I heard an interesting statistic this afternoon. Paul Harvey, I think.
Last year the US graduated 70,000 new engineers. Japan graduated 350,000
and China graduated 650,000. Related, more money was spent in the US on
liability lawsuits than on new technical research and development. Seems
this country has taken it's eye off the ball, and I personally believe it
has a lot more to do with loosing traditional values than it does due to
the
policies of any particular politician.

I think it is due to outsourcing - why go through the grueling curriculum of
engineering if there are no jobs for you in the US due to them being sent to
India.....
Which IS, by the way, due to a particular parties agenda..

Go to the Dept of Education and check out the starting salaries of engineers.
You'll see they're at the top of the totem pole.

If the jobs were non-existent, the salaries wouldn't be so high.

Bush-bashing isn't the way to go with that argument. But, if it's all you got,
it's all you got.
