Our Sputnik Moment? Really?<\/p>\n
What’s next? Telling the American people the automobile was invented in the States?<\/p>\n
Whoops! The President already did that during a previous address delivered in the House Chamber. (See Germany, Mr. President.)<\/p>\n
Another fact check: If the President has his way — if he forces another “stimulus” program onto our economy, or raises taxes — this will actually be America’s Titanic Moment.<\/p>\n
“In America, innovation does not just change our lives — it’s how we make a living,” the President noted in his State of the Union Address on January 25.<\/p>\n
Does he mean policy entrepreneurship, or private sector entrepreneurship?<\/p>\n
I’m going to guess that given his lack of private sector leadership experience, the latter is not what’s really on his mind.<\/p>\n
For this American, the Apollo Project of our time would be establishing a framework to reduce our national debt by halting frivolous federal spending.<\/p>\n
The Apollo Project of our time would entail quashing specious assertions that we can spend our way out of debt.<\/p>\n
The Apollo Project of our time would entail no more government “pat-downs” — of our wallets.<\/p>\n
