Next US President Must Reverse America's Decline
Byron Wien, Pequot Capital Management | August 11, 2008
After 1945, the US was clearly the world’s leader but it took its supremacy for granted and became complacent. ++ Since then, the US has become dependent on foreign oil and relied on debt to finance its economy. ++ American students are behind while universities fill with foreigners. ++ Leadership in technology and entertainment does not provide enough domestic jobs. ++ To reverse this decline, the next president must lead innovative programs for alternative energy, research, and a modern infrastructure.
