>>The future of the U.S. doesn't depend on digging for gold out West or knowing how to build a farmer's barn<< No, it depends on tech, healthcare, alternative energy, biosciences and bioagriculture, energy-efficient transportation, education, roads, water and electrical infrastructure you know, the things we may need over the next 20 years, instead of a 3rd condo in bubbleville. >>The economy changes, has been changing for a long time.<< Agreed. So how does having the tax code rigged to favor "investment" in housing helps meet this challenge?

Too bad more workers aren't coming out of school prepared to deal with it with the right kind of education. That's the problem as I see it. Thats a total red herring, Tradelite. Have you been talking with Jack Welch again? (this "us is undereducated" is Jack Welch's personal favorite BS line, as GE offshores every engineering job they can get their paws on). US engineering schools are the best in the world, thats why every foreigner wants to come here. But our graduates have to go back to india to get work. That is the reality, and those indian jobs are jobs working for US companies! Its a disgusting travesty.
