The problem with cuts to education is that you are shorting the future. The future is bright for certain people who possess certain skill sets. If they don’t develop, we as a nation on’t develop. Lost potential leads to decline in the individual and the nation.
It’s expensive, yes. But we want to prepare our children for a future with increased technology. We need people who understand that technology and are able to use it to the advantage of their companies, nation and families.
We choose to go to the moon before the decade is out because we want to challenge ourselves — not just in aerospace, but medicine, engineering, data processing, artificial intelligence and many other fields of endeavor.
