“The world of innovation has 2 different models:

(Terry Cutler)

“The irony of ignoring innovation as a theme for our times is that the U.S. is still the
most innovative nation on the planet, but we can only maintain that lead if we invest in
the people, the research that enable it and produce a policy environment in which it
can thrive rather than being squelched. Our strong science and technology base built
by past investments, our free market economy built on a base of democracy and a
diverse population are unmatched to date; but we are taking it for granted.”
