My son is one of those "Best and the brightest" in a top ten engineering school going for his PhD, having graduated Summa Cum Laude from one of the top ten Universities as an undergrad in the hard sciences.

From what he has shared with me - this is true, most of the students are foreign born (and no, they are not staying in the US after they graduate). Sadly, I am getting used to the idea that my son having seen the movie SICKO has decided to leave the US when he graduates.

The Empire that Bush envisions is on the decline....

For those that have to pay, why pay literally $100K + for a degree - when America outsources or hires from outside the U.S. - maybe our kids can do cost benefit analysis at a very early age.
