Once again, he's trotting out the same old straw men and warmed-over policies he has pounded relentlessly for the last 3-1/2 years: He inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression, Republicans have stymied the recovery by refusing all compromise and the only way we will remain competitive in the world economy is by "investing" in things like education, renewable "green" energy and infrastructure development.
This "investment" angle has become so repetitive it's easy just to ignore. But what does it really mean? When the president says he wants to invest in education, what, exactly does he want to invest in it?
