Much has been said here about misplaced priorities. I would like to add an example from my own experience. When I was Secretary, I visited the University of California at Davis to review federally funded research. The researchers there showed off a very expensive new piece of machinery developed largely by federal research funds. The machine was designed to pick square, green tomatoes. When I asked “What in the world is this all about?” they explained that we needed to find new ways to eliminate labor. Back in Washington, I asked the same question, and got the same answer.
