"...The report also calls for streamlining immigration laws so foreign
math and science graduates can more easily come to the United States.

To encourage more U.S. students to study math and science, the report
proposed a national science and engineering scholarship fund that
offers tax credits to companies that contribute, plus the creation of
at least 5,000 ``portable graduate fellowships'' that would fund
research in emerging fields.

Some panelists even suggested finding ways for universities to recruit
top high school math and science students the way they recruit
football players..."

But don't make any changes that would allow U.S. students to make more
than a McJob worker.

The elite just wnat to make sure that there are enough techies available
to draft into the military to protect their gold-plated asses.

It's the same shit, different decade.

How come there's no shortage of science and engineering graduates
applying for medical schools?
Simple... most doctors find jobs which pay the bills.

How about making scientists exempt from income taxes? Of course,
tax lawyers would figure out ways to get everyone with enough money
reclassified as scientists, especially tax lawyers. ;-)

This isn't rocket science, people. Provide them with sex, just like
they do for football players. :-) Then make sure that they can make
a million dollars a year without even finishing their degrees or being
the best at what they do (the best get $10 million+), along with more
sex, just like pro athletes.

You got that right. And don't do anything to make things better for
people who are already scientists.

I don't think those are the people they want protecting their asses.
The students they are after for that job are the ones good at video
games. On the news the other night they showed a big semi full of
training simulators being driven around to high schools by military
recruiters, with apparently eager students trying their hands at the
biggest Nintendos they've ever had. The students they want in the
sciences will be the ones to build the weapons systems that the
gamers who get drafted will then be using to protect gold-plated
asses. Unfortunately, as our so-called leaders are finding out,
there still needs to be boots on the ground as they say, and there
are no video games capable of dealing with a big car bombs.

Cheers,
