Creative Destruction is a Good Thing

UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO ME!!!  Recently a thoughtful commentator suggested we could make a major step toward the financial health of the USA if we did 3 things--
1) Get out of Iraq
2) Get out of Afganistan
3) Simplify the tax code
This is the tricky part--all of these ideas destroy
jobs at a time when JOBS JOBS JOBS
seems to be the mantra. 

Maybe the real question for the world is--How can WE all get ready for a time when technology and globalization destroy current jobs--we're talking everybody, including doctors (cures vs. treatments), lawyers (simpler tax code and international competition)--and what can we do to bridge the gap and support the world toward a more peaceful, sustainable future?  
Remember Will Rogers said "Even if you are on the right track, if you sit still you'll get run over."
