<<<So you don't see our being behind China in computer technology as a problem? Well, bush, didn't either.>>>>

I'm not sure the problem is that we are behind in computer technology - just the opposite, China keeps ripping off our technology. We develop it and they steel it. We develop it and send it ti China to make. Apple makes most of their stuff in Asia for instance.

The real missed opportunity - a huge missed opportunity - was that other countries passed us in green energy development. But even that wasn't a missed education problem - it was a stupid oil focused President with no vision whatsoever problem. These green energy jobs could be filled by those from the housing job losses.

Unlike you, I actually know computer technology. The Chinese are not ahead in any important area.
