Dear
I was distressed to learn that part of Republicans’ objection to the stimulus package is its emphasis on education. Perhaps you are unaware that more and more jobs are being outsourced to places such as India and China because their workers have the needed education and skills. We all live in a global village, and to compete in everything from service industries to the development of new technologies, we must keep up in education.
Over the last eight years, we saw that trying to bypass, buy up, or shop our way out of debt only created an ephemeral bubble. That bubble has burst. Now it is absolutely essential that we wise up and do more to prepare our next generation to produce saleable items, original technology, and culturally sensitive services. For this, education is critical. To leave it out of any stimulus package is short-sighted.
I hope that, as a committed citizen of our great country, you will be able to reassess your outmoded ideology and truly “Put Our Country First.”
Yours truly,
