Yesterday, another article indicated that there was a 30% drop in native born applications to graduate school in computer science. Yup, no problem with free trade here.

YYYYAAAAAYYYYYY TEAM! We're becoming a second-rate technological innovator! YAAAYYYYY! Free Trade is the answer to (all of the rest of the world's) problems! America will finally be humiliated and made into a third-world country! YAAAAAYYYYYY TEAM!

Boy, that GW Bush is the best thing that ever could have happened to America, huh? Now if we can only get a few more H1-B's over here, export a little more technology, and coax a few more illegal aliens to come here, then we'll finally be there!

We just need to retrain, Laz. Haven't you listened to anything Dane has told you? We'll all train to be DC politicians-- that's the last job to be outsourced.

YYYYAAAAAYYYYYY TEAM! We're becoming a second-rate technological innovator!

After decades of second-rate education in every subject except "self-esteem" and how to use a condom properly...you expected something different to happen?

No one worries about this until it is their job that is leaving the country. Third world status, here we come.

Nobody wants to work hard anymore. If we don't educate engineers and scientists we will need to buy them from someone else. It's simple logic. The average age of an Aeronautical Engineer is 56. There is an enormous crisis coming. What do you plan?

Guess you need to look at what our best and brightest are majoring in these days.
The university that I went to was nicknamed "The Engineers" and the the largest college was the engineering school. The university president had been with Bell Labs and the chairman of the board of trustees was president of Exxon.
The university's nickname is now "The Mountain Hawks." Now an undergraduate can major in theater. The president is a lifelong educrat and the chairman of the board of trustees is from a wall street law firm.
