We can’t defund our way to prosperity. We need to support our schools, nurses and firefighters
Fox News
Americans need an involved federal government. Community colleges and public universities are launch pads into the workforce. They require government help to function correctly.
But manufacturing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You can’t build a factory in a town where the hospital has closed, the school is underfunded, the firehouse is short-staffed, and the technical college has shuttered because of federal budget cuts. Just ask any titan of industry. Richard Fowler is a contributor to FOX News Media and an adjunct professor of journalism at Georgetown University. Since 2016, he has provided political and cultural analysis across Fox’s daytime and primetime programming as well the network’s Sunday morning public affairs line-up. This includes Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream and Media Buzz with Howard Kurtz. He also appears as a guest co-host on The Five (weekdays, 5-6 PM ET).
Take a walk through any thriving town or city in America. You will find not just businesses booming and cranes dotting the skyline. You'll find hospitals staffed by highly skilled nurses, public schools filled with ambitious children, public health departments tracking outbreaks before they spread and fire departments ready to respond within minutes.
