"trickle down", and we know that doesn't work well. corporations look out for self & higher levels first (w/ few exceptions). the majority, the "regular folks" get screwed. the best way to growth is to give people jobs & benefits, promote job security, and go from there. that helps property taxes which in turn helps schools, which makes more productive people....

no, i didn't mean that. that's where i got off topic, in a sense.

there are jobs to be had and in certain fields, those are the people who have them overwhelmingly.

most of those students just use the u.s. degree for what it's worth, but always w/ the goal of going back home & improving their homeland. which is excellent. i'd do it too if i had the opportunity.

but too many american kids can't read, let alone make it to college...
