Congressman

Congressman Adam Smith visited our class and all I can say is that it was very cool and a privilege to have a congressman come to our class and take the time to talk to us. Having said that, I don't like politicians at all, even though he sounded very nice and knowledgable, I only believe 2% of what they say. He talked about the "Rise of the rest" and how countries like China are growing exponentially and have taken a lot of jobs in manufacturing that the US used to have. Also he mentioned that our tax code does is not correctly balanced to compete against countries as China. In general, he seemed to motivate us to change our attitude of "dominating" to "competing" with other countries. In general he seemed to follow his agenda like any other politician.
