How America Can Get Its Tech Mojo Back
jfruhlinger writes "The American tech industry is hobbled by a poor education system, misguided spending priorities, and a byzantine patent system. But America can still come out on top, not least because of its longstanding tradition of individuality and private R&D investment. 'Open, distributed projects have the potential to outperform the traditional closed, controlled research model by reducing costs and duplication of effort, making it easy to collect and analyze masses of data from diverse sources, and allowing the best brains to participate no matter where they live.'"
With their more subtle attempts at economic sabotage failing, Republicans have moved on to more direct methods like sending the US Government into default.
This will raise interests rates for all sorts of loans, and should drag the economy into a very deep recession, completing the GOP's plan to destroy the economy.
It's a great plan, if you want the American economy to crash and burn.
