Society at large also benefits from such a program. Students who never make it to college represent a great untapped wealth of intelligence. If America is to maintain its position as the world leader in science and technology, it will need all the help it can muster, and these overlooked students can play a vital role. By enlarging the available talent pool for high-tech jobs and increasing the brain power working to solve important problems like global warming, the proposed scholarships help to improve life for all and to keep the economy strong.

After five years of tax cuts and massive spending that brought back deficits and ensured that they will continue for years if not decades, Bush plans to use his State of the Union address on Jan. 31 to portray himself as, well, thrifty.

His staff wants to make "restraining spending" a defining Bush characteristic, along with spreading democracy...
