which is not a sexy issue, enormously important. our roads and our bridges, public transportation crumblinc, we can create millions of good paying jobs. transforming our energy system, becoming energy independent, reversing greenhouse global warming and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, all very important. lowering the cost of college, all very important. here is my concern, though. i think there are a lot of things that should have been said that the president didn't say at all. for example, i don't think the word unemployment was mentioned. i don't think the word poverty was mentioned. i don't think the word trade deficit and outsourcing was mention mentioned. i think if you're going to come up with good public policy, you have to educate the american people and understand where we are as a nation. and the reality is, the middle class is collapsing, poverty is increasing and the gap between the very, very rich and everybody else is growing wider.
