Foreigners? Why do they care about the US innovating?
The US Government? OK, so imagine that it works. Now they want to encourage innovation: how do they do it?
Ooops, I thought this article was going to answer that question, not pose it.
That's a rather hard sell, because frankly, it ain't. America still leads the world in damn near every field. For a nation of a mere 300 million people or so, the number of new inventions, scientific discoveries, and bleeding-edge technology companies being generated by the US is way out of whack with the rest of the world. There's no point in trying to sell your solutions with some kind of false urgency, people will see through it.
