| The Federal Job Machine Posted by Michael E. Marotta on 2/12, 7:30pm | ||
| The Washington area is becoming a job machine. So why aren't regions around the country trying to emulate it, as they did Silicon Valley in the 1990s? The simple answer is that they can't. "If you can force the rest of the country to send you money or go to jail, it does wonders for your economy," says northern Virginia writer and noted urban thinker Joel Garreau. Stephen Fuller, who runs the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University in Fairfax, puts it more gently: "It's nice to have a rich uncle." That would be Uncle Sam. | ||
