Another Wrong Direction for America

Survey after survey confirm that the American public thinks America is headed in the wrong direction.

Today, we learn of another wrong direction America is headed in. Apparently, China, and other Asian countries and spending more on science research than the United States is. Their research programs are growing faster than ours, and they are publishing more as well.

It is a sad commentary that we have been the world leader in scientific research for many years. But we are poised to surrender that title. And in doing so, we give up not just the mythical “world leader” position, we also give up the benefits of scientific research, specifically, we give up high technology to use for the benefit of our society, we give up high paying jobs, we give up medical advances, and so on.
