The Gathering Storm: CATEGORY 5 Global Threat to America’s Success

The Gathering Storm: CATEGORY 5 Global Threat to America’s Success

Most Americans assume that we are No. 1 where it counts, but according to a study made during the Bush administration in 2005 and recently updated in 2010, the U.S. ranks No. 11 in the number of people with a high school degree, 16th in college completion, 24th in life expectancy, 48th in quality of K-12 math and science education, and 27th in the number of college students holding science and engineering degrees. Shocked?

We face a GLOBAL threat that cannot be addressed by Washington DC focusing solely on inter-party rivalry instead of an American national strategy.

Have you heard about the 2005 study, recently updated in 2010, called “Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing America for a Brighter Economic Future”? If you read it you will find the above rankings and realize that no politician, from either party, has leveled with the American people on our nation’s true status in the world –from education to technology—and what we need to do to fix it.

How do we get back to No. 1? This Saturday, on Global American Radio, we look at how America’s success is threatened by a rapidly approaching Category 5 of global competition that we are not prepared for – and some of the real world SOLUTIONS that you aren’t hearing from the politicians.

And there is a significant danger that the politicians will cut the one thing needed to put us back into the game. The last thing we need to do is eat our seed corn! You don’t lighten an aircraft by removing an engine. Deficit cutting in the wrong area will spell doom for America, which went from the world’s No. 1 creditor nation in 2000 to the No. 1 debtor nation today. We have to make some important changes that go beyond the usual “tax and spend” debates swirling about.

Find out details of this global Tsunami heading our way and how we fix it on Global American radio, Saturday at 9 am Central time, on Houston Business 1110 AM, which is streamed on www.Business1110KTEK.com and archived 24/7 at www.GlobalAmerican.org

Global American Radio puts American interests ahead of any party or ideology. I believe it is best to tell Americans the facts and the truth, so they can make up their minds with honest information instead of the smoke and mirrors agenda of either party.
