8/11/17 STEM Knowledge Being Given Away To Other Countries?

    This is yet another reason that although I hate the ideas of being a conservative, the idea that democrats in Congress think it is a good idea to allow students from foreign countries to study here and then take the knowledge back home is a horrible mistake.  I have nothing against Chinese or Indian people studying in America IF they are somehow or other vowing to stay here and be good American citizens.  It is a big world and we are a melting pot, it is quite normal to work with a Lee, a Bill, Maria, and Abdul all at the same time, I believe it might even make us better at our jobs.
   STEM is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.  I first heard the term when Boy was at Akins High School which got like a 25 million dollar grant to push more students into the sciences.  Boy spent his years working on robots that would compete against other robots, then he got hooked on the rockets program.  This started with building the little ones you can buy at a hobby store with the Estes engines to some humongous eight foot tall monsters that could break the sound barrier (going faster than 767miles per hour), or travel to 1 or 2 miles up.  Fast forward to college life and boy is still interested in engineering, which we would always encourage the sciences, being that I have a chemistry degree, and other than recently, has led to us having a very nice life.  That is what I want for both boys to study something that will compensate them accordingly.
    So Wife said she was in a conference this week and someone was talking about STEM, and that there are not enough kids in the programs.  So congress decides to get involved and as a consequence, they are considering more kids from other countries to come and study starting from 7th grade and up.  How about instead of spending all that money to bring a ton of outsiders, maybe pay the teachers salaries comparable to what they could make in the private sector.  I have had this argument with people before, and I truly believe that someone studying in STEM will work harder than someone getting a degree in liberal arts.
    Funny how they were letting in students from China and India in the 80's, guess who has managed to get decent nuclear programs off the ground?  These countries are also a possible threat because they make their own rockets, jets, and other real vehicles that could be militarized.  I know other countries like Russia have nuclear capability and good for them, they worked on it at the same time we did, but even with them, it is said they had spies in our camps, back around WWII to steal our knowledge.  It is one thing for us to sell them this technology, it is quite another when we patiently teach their future engineers and scientists how to create the very weapons we fear.  Then these same assholes sit up there in Congress wondering what we should do about the growing threat coming from these countries who forty years ago could barely feed themselves.  Look at India, people still shit in the streets, how advanced are they on their own?  Send some of those fucks to study plumbing, the Greeks figured that shit out over 2000 years ago.
