Adv 1: Automation Nation

The U.S. labor market is at a point of transition—Automation driven by advances in robotics, artificial intelligence and computing will displace 8.9 million jobs by 2025

Speights 6/6 ~~[Reporter for Business Insider ~| "The robots are already here — and your job might be at risk" Business Insider 6/6/17 ~| http://www.businessinsider.com/is-your-jobs-safe-from-the-rise-of-robots-2017-6 ~~] The World Economic Forum (WEF) projects a loss of 7.1 million AND matter of time before robots can perform nearly every job that humans have.


Now is critical to update the U.S. workforce for the automated age— the future of U.S. employment relies on developing a skilled workforce that can advance and integrate with digital technology

The Economist 2016 ~~[ "Automation and Anxiety: Will Smarter Machines Cause Mass Unemployment," The Economist, Special Report on Artificial Intelligence, 6/25/16 ~| http://www.economist.com/news/special-report/21700758-will-smarter-machines-cause-mass-unemployment-automation-and-anxiety~~] A computer that dispenses expert radiology advice is just one example of how jobs currently AND Mr Mokyr, far more labour is being replaced by cheap workers overseas.


Absent a transition mass unemployment leads to economic collapse

    • Ford 11** (Martin Ford, futurist and the author of the New York Times bestselling "Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future" (winner of the 2015 Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award and translated into more than 20 languages) and "The Lights in the Tunnel: Automation, Accelerating Technology and the Economy of the Future," as well as the founder of a Silicon Valley-based software development firm. He has over 25 years experience in the fields of computer design and software development. He holds a computer engineering degree from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and an MBA degree from the University of California, Los Angeles. The Lights in The Tunnel: Automation, Accelerating Technology And The Economy Of The Future, 2011, p. 5-6)

The reality is that the free market economy, as we understand it today, AND people start to discuss these issues, even the economists will take notice.


Economic decline leads to nuclear war

Stein **Tønnesson 15**, Research Professor, Peace Research Institute Oslo; Leader of East Asia Peace program, Uppsala University, 2015, "Deterrence, interdependence and Sino–US peace," International Area Studies Review, Vol. 18, No. 3, p. 297-311 Several recent works on China and Sino–US relations have made substantial contributions to AND each other, with a view to obliging Washington or Beijing to intervene.


Computer Science and digital literacy create the infrastructure for a high-skilled, AI enabled economy

NSTC 2016 ~~[ National Science and Technology Council, the principal means by which the Executive Branch coordinates science and technology policy across research and development (R&D) enterprises ~| "PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" Report by the NSTC to the President, 10/12/2016 ~| https://www.eenews.net/assets/2016/10/12/document_gw_03.pdf ~~] An AI-enabled world demands a data-literate citizenry that is able to AND preparing a future workforce for the needs of an AI-driven economy.


Adv 2: Advanced Manufacturing

Advanced Manufacturing is facing a hiring crunch—a lack of skilled workers prevents future growth

Annunziata et al. 2016 ~~[Marco, Chief Economist for GE Ventures, John Paul Soltesz, Market Strategy Leader at GE; Marni Rutkofsky, Strategy and Marketing Leader at GE Ventures; Karen Kerr, PhD, Senior Managing Director at GE Ventures ~| "The Workforce of the Future: Advanced Manufacturing's Impact on the Global Economy," Report by GE Ventures Investment firm ~| https://www.gita.org.in/Attachments/Reports/AM_FINAL.pdf ~~] AM = Advanced Manufacturing But AM industries have seen a stronger recovery than traditional manufacturers. While 17% AND the demand for STEM workers and the supply of them in the market.


Specifically, the aff trains students in data analytics, modeling, and computer skills key to innovation in the industry

Brandt 2016 ~~[Linda, Professor and Chair of the Department of Acquisition at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF), National Defense University ~| "Industry Report: Advanced Manufacturing," Report for the Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy ~| http://es.ndu.edu/Portals/75/Documents/industry-study/reports/2016/es-is-report-advanced-manufacturing-2016.pdf ~~] Eighty-four percent of advanced manufacturing executives believe there is a "talent shortage AND to ensure workers are prepared for the increasing technology associated with advanced manufacturing.


Advanced Manufacturing enables economies of scale ensuring military and economic competitiveness

Brandt 2016 ~~[Linda, Professor and Chair of the Department of Acquisition at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF), National Defense University ~| "Industry Report: Advanced Manufacturing," Report for the Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy ~| http://es.ndu.edu/Portals/75/Documents/industry-study/reports/2016/es-is-report-advanced-manufacturing-2016.pdf ~~] Advanced manufacturing not only maintains positive implications for society, but also strengthens national security AND S. economy in general and often leads potential buyers to another country.


US Primacy prevents Great Power Wars – Anything else escalates and goes nuclear

    • Ikenberry, 14** – ~~[Gilford John Ikenberry is a theorist of international relations and United States foreign policy, and a professor of Politics and International Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, May/June 2014, The Illusion of Geopolitics The Enduring Power of the Liberal Order, Foreign Affairs, https://www.foreignaffairs.org/articles/china/2014-04-17/illusion-geopolitics~~]

Mead also mischaracterizes the thrust of U.S. foreign policy. Since the AND the next great wave of modernization. They are unlikely to do that.


The aff is key to pivot towards advanced manufacturing

Reynolds 2/13 ~~[Elisabeth B., executive director of the MIT Industrial Performance Center and a lecturer at MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning ~| "The New Face of Manufacturing Jobs" The Institute for Work & Employment Research ~| http://iwer.mit.edu/posts/new-face-manufacturing-jobs/ ~~] The relatively strong job and wage growth in the country belies the reality that quality AND . Massachusetts universities are partners or leaders in nine of the 14 institutes.


Adv 3: Cybersecurity

Despite an executive order for assessment—Trump has yet to address the widening cybersecurity workforce gap

Bate 5/17 ~~[Laura K. Bate, Senior Program Associate with New America's Cybersecurity Initiative and a WiSe Fellow with the American Security Project ~| "THE CYBER WORKFORCE GAP: A NATIONAL SECURITY LIABILITY?," 5/17/17 https://warontherocks.com/2017/05/the-cyber-workforce-gap-a-national-security-liability/ ~~] In a remarkable confluence of events, the White House released their much-awaited AND that are on track to become much worse as the labor gap grows.


Importantly, recruiting efforts are inhospitable to women and minorities amplifying the workforce shortage—increasing diversity in secondary education is key

Mello 5/8 ~~[John P., freelance writer specializing in business and technology subjects, including consumer electronics, business computing ~| "Chance for women and minorities to enter the trillion dollar cybersecurity field" Report for Cybersecurity Ventures ~| http://cybersecurityventures.com/women-in-cybersecurity/ ~~] Technology companies, in general, are having trouble diversifying their workforces, but it's AND virtually all-male environment or a cliff of discrimination," she adds.


The talent shortage threatens U.S. critical infrastructure. Action now solves—early exposure to CS education solidifies the workforce and facilitates diversity

CSEC 2017 ~~[Computer Science Education Coalition, ~|"The Case for Computer Science January 2017 ~|" http://www.csecoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/The-Case-for-Computer-Science-Final.pdf~~] America's shortage of qualified workers in computer science not only threatens America's role as an AND will help to ensure American economic prosperity and security in the decades ahead.


Cyber insecurity independently risks nuclear miscalculation – a skilled workforce shores up vulnerabilities in the private and public sectors

    • Nolan 15** (Andrew Nolan, Legislative Attorney at the Congressional Research Service, former Trial Attorney at the United States Department of Justice, holds a J.D. from George Washington University, 2015 ("Cybersecurity and Information Sharing: Legal Challenges and Solutions," CRS Report to Congress, March 16th, Available Online at http://fas.org/sgp/crs/intel/R43941.pdf, Accessed 07-05-2015, p. 1-3)

The high profile cyberattacks of 2014 and early 2015 appear to be indicative of a AND the words of one prominent cybersecurity expert—"vulnerabilities of staggering proportions."26


k-12 training creates a pipeline of cybersecurity professionals that resolves status quo dependence on inexperienced candidates

Evans et al. 2017 ~~[ Karen, former Administrator for E-Government and Information Technology at the Office of Management and Budget; Sameer Bhalotra, Co-Founder and CEO at StackRox, a new cybersecurity startup based in Mountain View, CA; Sheldon Whitehouse, Senator from Rhode Island; Michael McCaul, Rep. from Texas~| "From Awareness to Action A Cybersecurity Agenda for the 45th President," Report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) January 2017 ~| https://csis-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/publication/170110_Lewis_CyberRecommendationsNextAdministration_Web.pdf ~~] Hiring of well-trained cybersecurity candidates is growing increasingly difficult due to skyrocketing demand AND in cyber is the only sustainable method to ensure our nation's continued cybersecurity.


Federal commitment to cybersecurity sends a signal to potential workers and companies resolving demand in the short term

    • Kaine 2016** ~~[Tim, Senator for Virginia and on the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on the Budget, and the Committee on Foreign Relations, as well as the Career and Technical Education Caucus ~| "Washington: In Keynote Address, Kaine Discusses Formulating Cybersecurity Doctrine And Investments In Cyber Workforce" Plus Media Solutions, May 25, 2016, lexis~~]

My third thought is in the cyber security investment area. We have to invest AND parameters and what they're going to be dealing with and then adjust accordingly.


Plan

Plan: The United States federal government should substantially increase its funding of primary and secondary computer science and digital literacy education in the United States, including the provision of matching grants for teacher certification in computer science.

Solvency

Teacher Certification is the most significant roadblock to effective CS education

Heitin 2014 ~~[Liana, reporter for Edweek "Computer Science: Not Just an Elective Anymore" http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2014/02/26/22computer_ep.h33.html ~~] Even with legislation to broaden access to computer science moving forward, hurdles in school AND . They often leave the classroom for more-lucrative jobs in industry.


Federal funding for certification is key—the aff provides qualified CS education that competes with the private sector

Nagar & Atkinson 2016 ~~[Adams, economic policy analyst at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation; & Robert. founder and president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation ~| "The Case for Improving U.S. Computer Science Education" MAY 2016 ~| http://www2.itif.org/2016-computer-science-education.pdf ~~] Teach computer science in all high schools States should prioritize making computer science available in AND science. Congress should include these funding proposals in the 2017 fiscal budget.


And Federal action sends a signal to investors that the US will commit to a computer literate workforce

Stern 4/7 ~~[Paula, former chairwoman of the US International Trade Commision and senior adviser to the National Center for Women & Information Technology~| "We can't keep jobs in the US if we can't fill them" The Hill 4/7/17 ~| http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/labor/327829-we-cant-keep-jobs-in-the-us-if-we-cant-fill-them ~~] To entice American and foreign corporations to invest in new factories, foundries and facilities AND the language of coding and can begin to visualize rewarding computer science careers.


Despite existing state and local efforts only a stronger federal commitment to computer science education can unify a patchwork of programs

Herold 3/21 ~~[Benjamin, staff writer for Education Week ~| "With Hacking in Headlines, K-12 Cybersecurity Ed. Gets More Attention" Education Week Vol. 36, Issue 25, Pages 1, 15, March 21^^st^^, 2017 ~| http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2017/03/22/with-hacking-in-headlines-k-12-cybersecurity-ed.html~~] Amid a steady drumbeat of reports on cyber-espionage and election-related hackings AND plans to unveil a yearlong cybersecurity course for high schools in fall 2018.

Federalism DA

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) gave decision-making power back to the states, and shifted from educational federalism to a state-centered model.
