I was just reading this op-ed piece by The World Is Flat author Thomas Friedman. The part that really struck me (and speaks to my issue):

"there is no sustainable political/military power without economic power, and talking about one without the other is nonsense. Unless we make America the country most able to innovate, compete and win in the age of globalization, our leverage in the world will continue to slowly erode. Those are the issues this election needs to be about, because that is what the next four years need to be about."
