Jobs and the Human Genome

Right now there are three depressing aspects to the current course of the U.S. economy.  First, the growth of healthcare spending, if it continues, will put a stranglehold on employers and taxpayers.  Second, the apparent inability of the private sector to generate well-paying jobs for college grads, if it continues, will put a squeeze on young workers.  Third,  the apparently inability of the U.S. to export enough to close a huge trade deficit,  if it continues, will leave the country exposed to a  dollar collapse and a sharp fall in living standards.
