Now more than ever, America needs to support entrepreneurs and start-up visionaries who are attempting to build break-through businesses. In order to maintain our place in the world, we need to innovate and develop new technologies that deliver a competitive advantage. Unfortunately, it is very difficult for someone with a brand new idea to get funded. This is because most investors are too conservative and too wedded to old world thinking. The American government showed leadership with the space program & the spin-off benefits are still being felt.
Developing the next generation of energy and transportation technologies is a matter of national security. The military industrial complex takes up nearly 1/2 of government spending. I find it very interesting that neither presidential candidate is questioning this massive amount of wasteful spending. If we can find $10 billion per month for Iraq and contemplate $700 billion to bail out banks and wall street, we can certainly find ways to seriously invest in our future.
Please visit the Interstate Traveler Company for a Michigan-based company that has a vision of one way America can gain a global advantage. I salute this site for raising awareness of other future focused initiatives.
