Posted in: America's secret weapon: Its unparalleled capacity for innovation See in context
America may be "land of innovation," but Americans can no longer run their railroads properly, the Washington D. C. subway system is about to be shutdown, and the airports are a disgrace. Grumman cannot get the new stealth fighter, for which Dept. of Defense has paid nearly half a trillion dollars, to fly properly. Over 2 million Americans are in jails and prisons. 30 million American children are malnourished. The rich -- like Bill Gates -- pay practically zero in taxes. The suicide rate of middle-class, middle-aged Americans is soaring. Once you get away from Palo Alto, Portland, Washington D.C. and the Beltway and some other places--and go to Detroit, Newark, the old industrial towns in New England--you'll see a modern wasteland.
