The professor who helped Google’s founders get the company off the ground has warned that President Obama is leading the United States on a “crash course” towards economic disaster.
David Cheriton, who taught Sergey Brin and Larry Page at Stanford University in California and became a billionaire as Google grew, said that America’s innovators and investors were being driven overseas in search of opportunity.
The BBC’s Matt Frei talked with David Cheriton, a professor who taught Sergey Brin and Larry Page at Stanford University. And that is certainly worthy of note. Professor Cheriton must have great standing in the world of computer science.
Looking again at the above post we see:
The professor who helped Google’s founders get the company off the ground has warned that President Obama is leading the United States on a “crash course” towards economic disaster.
What American President successfully lead America on a “crash course” towards economic disaster? To answer that question – one only needs to query common sense. It does not take the credentials of a university professor to answer that question.
It was President George W. Bush who lead America’s economy on a crash course towards economic disaster. And it only took four years. However, many of the benefactors of the Bush Administration have been IN-DENIAL about neocon American history.
Where does David Cheriton’s expertise lie? Is it computer science, economics or some other discipline?
Would American investors abandon America in her time of financial need? You bet! Remember that post over at the Wall Street Journal that says business has no social responsibility.
Bush focused on investors in his 2003 State of the Union Address. He de-regulated the financial industry – investors feasted until America’s treasury was dead. The crash course toward economic disaster happened BEFORE President Obama came into office.
America’s economy had been TAX CUT and De-Regulated into a near death condition. And the rich, who are already rich, are bemoaning the “medicine” that is now required to bring America’s economy back into good health. And Mr. David Cheriton is likely correct – it is President Obama and NOT America’s neocon Congress who is posing a problem for the wealthy. Certain neocon wealthy don’t like to be held responsible for poor financial management. The neocon Congressmen are respecting that by focusing on labor. Democrats are presenting solutions that embraces all who are involved.
[ Professor Cheriton spoke of going overseas in search of investment opportunities. Greece is now looking. And word in the press now says Africa has been targeted for commercial farming.
But there are countries that "investors" might need to be wary of - if you don't obey their laws. ]
