No matter how hard you push the envelope,
it'll still be stationery.
For several months, I have been telling the republican leaders to stop wasting their time killing the ACA. They did not listen, and now with the numbers filling the TV screens, the numbers seem to support the success of the ACA. I understand that if you keep drilling on the numbers, you get to major flaws in the sign-up statistics, but deep drilling is beyond the scope of most people. It is clearly beyond the scope of TV reporting.
With elections around the corner, the republicans need to focus on what they can do not what Obama did or did not do. Health care, equal pay for equal work and job creation does not create much traction, the Pubs need a bold audacious idea. We are in a global information revolution and America is falling behind. We invent it. We export it. And then other countries seem to implement it better. The Japanese executive that purchased Sprint claimed that America pays 3X more for 10X less Internet speed than other countries.
America built a highway infrastructure in the 50s that accelerated America's GNP growth, yet we have failed to build a powerful electronic infrastructure despite the fact that we "invented" most of it. Obama wants to build better highways for cars, not a bad idea, just not innovative.
The Pubs should launch a initiative to build an electronic infrastructure across America that would allow, everyone regardless of race, religion, gender or economic status to access data knowledge. We need to go to the moon with electronic speed. There is a general consensus that the country with the best information highway wins the economic battle of the decade. Right now we are 15th in the world in this category, behind China, Japan and a host of other countries. It is the manufacturing fiasco all over again. Remember when we made TVs. When Alibaba, the Chinese Amazon, goes public in America, the sucking sound you hear will be the flow of american dollars to another country.
Go figure.
