Do we Americans have a clue? Is our educational system preparing young adults for life in the world? Do we know the why and the wherefore of policy choices? Can your teen-ager explain why something costs what it does?
I can't find a thing to disagree with in that piece.
Oh, "tumbleweeds"? That is a fighter pilot codeword for an individual with no tally (he doesn't see the enemy), no visual (he doesn't see his leader),and no clue (he's got no idea what the situation is.)
America is tumbleweeds. Our citizens are only qualified for snacko duty.
