When we were going to the moon, we were the only ones who could build the stuff. We had the edge. In the 1980s, Reagan said, we need rest on our laurels and not invest in what makes us great anymore. Not doing that has cost us far more than the investments; our jobs have shipped overseas.

We need them back and the best way to do that is to recreate what worked before--affordable education. Education was affordable before Reagan. This isn't radical. It's 1970s.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
