I think that if they’re not achieved, the U.S. will be buried by China. It’s as simple as that. If the U.S. wants to continue to be a serious player in the modern world and wants to remain a superpower, then it has to embrace superior, cheaper technologies.

Over the last decade, China has leapt ahead and is dominating all of these new technologies. How can that be when the U.S. has got all of that incredible industrial, intellectual base? If the United States wishes to remain a serious player, then it has to do it. If not, then like the U.K. before it, it will kind of descend into irrelevance.

The cost of transition, just in purely financial terms, is cheaper than the cost of business as usual, and as many others have pointed out, technically all of this stuff is completely feasible. But you do need very powerful political action to break through the logjams of the incumbents and the inertia of the current system.

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.

There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
