>> Maybe the answer is tax policy. Reward companies that hire humans, and tax the hell out of companies that use robots/software in their place, to pay for the benefits for the unemployed. Well, they could legitimately get rid of the IRC Section 179 allowance. But declaring war on automation would just drive the few remaining jobs overseas. Probably not a good strategy. You guys are going to have to come to terms with the global economy at some point and realize that our workers have to compete world wide for jobs. And the only way we're going to do that is to kill the university system which is bloated and counterproductive. And replace it with a technology based system.
