There was an interesting column in today's USA Today by Alan Webber that deals with a harsh reality of the modern world. It argues that the United States has already begun its slip from economic superpower, largely because politicians and business leaders refuse to acknowledge that fact. China and India are on the way up, not only because their people work cheap (that always helps) but because they are training kids for a new technological economy. The US lags behind, and thus isn't really planning for the future. Webber wonders which politician will be the first to be honest about things and take that message to the public. Whoever it is, he or she won't last long on the campaign trial.
