...the U.S. economy has changed with time and we are now the leading economy in the world, thanks to our outstanding position in Service Industries. AI and Quantum Computing will drive the future...if we care at all about our young, we'll make sure they can excel in Industries that provide such leadership.
Note that while we used to be strong in manufacturing, such exports now represent less than 10% of our GDP...now other countries are where we used to be in that arena, and typically get 30, 40, 50%...or more of their GDP there; it would be foolish to go backwards and try to compete with them without a low wage workforce.
