What is Coming?

Somehow this Marxist rhetoric does not ring the same as when I was 18.

Tom Friedman today say's the following:

``Second, America’s solvency inflection point is coinciding with a technological one. Thanks to Internet diffusion, the rise of cloud computing, social networking and the shift from laptops and desktops to hand-held iPads and iPhones, technology is destroying older, less skilled jobs that paid a decent wage at a faster pace than ever while spinning off more new skilled jobs that pay a decent wage but require more education than ever.''

``The president needs to take America’s labor, business and Congressional leadership up to Camp David and not come back without a grand bargain for taxes, trade promotion, energy, stimulus and budget cutting that offers the market some certainty that we are moving together — not just on a bailout but on an economic rebirth for the 21st century. “Fat chance,” you say. Well then I say get ready for a long phase of stubborn unemployment and anemic growth.''

Tom Friedman.

He is right. Who needs more machine operators with a high school education?

Tighten you seat belts; we are for a wild ride!
