US Values Special Interests more than Education

Why should the United States be concerned with providing education for its youth. The HB Visa program has taken care of America’s future. If we do not have enough Cheap University Graduates we can just import them from some country that provides free University Education to its citizens. Most Americans at this point are thinking this is crazy, he is just upset about something or that I am a Commie Pinko Fag (term from the 70s). Unfortunately, none of the above are true. The proof is in the legislation.

The Georgetown Voice writes:

The College Opportunity and Affordability Act of 2007, currently before both houses of Congress in different forms, would reform the corrupt student loan industry and make textbooks more affordable, among other admirable goals. Unfortunately, though, the bills also contain clauses that instruct universities to crack down on file-sharing on college campuses. While the Voice does not condone illegal file-sharing, Congress should not be roping universities into the fight against it, and Georgetown should not be diverting any of its limited resources into investigating students’ downloading habits.

If WE THE PEOPLE are interested in a strong and vibrant America then we must make education available to all no matter what one’s social status.

This is a bold statement. It sounds populous. It surely will upset those born into the Upper Class who enjoy a road less traveled. Thoughtful consideration instead leads us to believe that the strength of the United States in the future is best served by free University Education to all who desire it.

In any population there is a certain portion of a population that does well with manual tasks, others are thinkers, communicators, organizers or athletes. Rarely are the same genetic characteristics passed from parent to child instead they as the population mixes and mingles certain traits appear and go dormant skipping generations. Very complex children can be born to very simple parents and vice versa. Additionally science has found that mixing very different genetic characteristics produce better more adapt offspring.

The very mathematics of genetics teaches us that the best and the brightest will not come from the rich upper class. As a country interested in its future we should be facilitating the education of those least likely to fit the normal profile.

Our politicians are so corrupt and the collusion between business and politics is so great that our legislators have decided that it is more important to protect a corporation’s profits then to teach the greatest minds.

For similar reasons as you point out, Australia has an influx of imported Indian doctors. I guess you can expect something similar in the U.S.

Lexcen unfortunately, my friend, this is already the case. As Insurance companies become more powerful and reduce payments to doctors the influx of India, China, Philipine doctors is tremendous.

c'est la vie...

Australia has a rather clever scheme here, David. Overseas students at Australian universities can apply for and get residency status at the end of their degrees if they pass. So we get the fees plus the person!

JimSo the government is driving up University fees for Australians (increased demand with limited supply).

I guess that is a good thing if there are not enough Australian doctors available. Perhaps the government or corporate entities driving this believe Australians are not smart enough to handle the medical field?

Somehow I think that is just a ploy from the "powers that be" to drive down wages for qualified professionals.

You tell me...
