Alot of the Technology jobs are outsourced, to forgien countries...
Edcation.. they sent my cousin to Cuba,,, Yes CUBA.. to finish her masteres degree and write a full article, on their education system there.. because it is so much better than the USA's... wierd huh... who would have thought
Sacrifices,, I also meant as Teaching,,, Many schools have no money to continue on going important educational programs.. I have 5 school teachers in my family from MN, to New mexico, And they are all horror stories, on the size of how big the classrooms have gotten, and the How many students just getted pushed through the educatinal system now.. because the school dont have the money or resourses any more to help all the great minds we could have..

Medial research is paid for by the hard working people, in the USA.. And unfortunatley alot of money is wasted, with meaningless gifts, and right offs for doctors, when your health insurance could be more affordable.. for the middle class.. ( I worked in the medical field for 15 years)
Here in Canada they do-not allow drug compies to advertise.. It is a medical decision for you and your docotor to discuss as in many other countries.. which is why people can get their medications cheaper, than in the US.
I do believe that nations should help one-another out.. ect.... For world peace sake if anything.. Money, food. ect..
But do-not ever sacrifice so much that your ownn people suffer, do to greed, and corporate driven enterprises..

...sure we do, just not in the old coventional ways...
...how about support and the many forms it comes in
-agriculture
-military/protection (how many foreign cities flourish because of our installations, and the numbers of ppl that are employed??)
-$$ for medical research
-space programs
-advanced education (in all sorts of areas)
-technology
...this is a random list off the top of my head, but in reality there are so many more...and this list is nothing to sneeze at, we're talking global ramifications if these services were no longer provided...how many small countries would be under attack if we weren't 'Big Brother'??...YES, I do believe our military is (and has been) a marketable commodity...it's HUGE business!!
...but I, as an American, more than anything, want peace, a sense of brother/sisterhood among us all...where issues like these never become issues...I don't know if that will ever happen...but I hope...
