I love how the Chimp's handlers have pushed the meme that 'Dumb is Beautiful'. Getting President Underachiever elected supposedly proved you don't have to be smart to run a country. After 5 years we've learned you have to be smart to run it well. Now that dumb is fashionable in America, businesses are starting to feel the effects:

NEW YORK (AP) -- International Business Machines Corp., worried the United States is losing its competitive edge, will financially back employees who want to leave the company to become math and science teachers.

I wrote about this a few months back when Toyota opened an assembly plant in Ontario, Canada instead of the southern U.S.

So, in 20 years, all we'll be able to provide is unskilled labor for the Japanese and the Europeans. In a probable scenario, India will probably start outsourcing their menial labor to us as well, as the standard of living there becomes more robust. That's if the Chinese just don't foreclose on our debt. Idiots.

Great thanks to the Chemist for the AP link.
