Time and again, American innovation has transformed the economy, creating countless jobs along the way. So is there a next big thing on the horizon that might lift the economy and create millions of new jobs? In Silicon Valley, chip giant Intel is spending $7 billion on research and development this year alone, looking for the next big thing. "You see us investing in good times and in bad times when other people don't," says Intel CEO Paul Otellini, who fears the U.S. is losing its competitive edge to Asia. He blames high corporate taxes and an education system that is falling behind the rest of the world in math and science. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41833259/ |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Actually, it seems to me we're innovating, inventing, researching, and developing ourselves out of jobs. So many jobs that were once done by people are now done by machines. Others are farmed out to those in developing countries who will work for pennies. Still others are declared unnecessary as one person does the work of three.
