Les,re:"to increase the skills of the US work force."..And most important of all, the willingness to work for 'much lower scale demand by the American living standard'. It's a win-win-win situation for the elites.

Les, "He said the better approach was to intensify efforts to increase the skills of the U.S. work force, both in better instruction in such areas as math and sciences in high school, and increased support for community colleges, where much of the retraining of the work force occurs." Greenspan is wrong when he says a Masters in engineering should go back to community college. What the Masters in engineering needs to do, is go back for say ONE year and get some grad level bio training, as one example. The new jobs in software development are becoming specialized. She or he will probably get a job reasonably quicker if they do this. It's wrong for AG to imply it's good enough if they go to a community college. He's not getting the message right. He's living in the 80s where community college was enough. These engineers need to get re-engineered into more specialized areas of engineer. Get to the next level. But AG is correct on his other points. Need to improve education here from grades 4 to 12 so our students are not at a disadvantage that drags on them in college. Glad to hear him get this message right. Regards, Amy J
