you're an idiot if you get the news only from your own country's news
source. i haven't done that since i was 12.

you? you get yours from rush.


I read probably 6 or 8 newspapers from across the world daily - if you get
"news" on the idiot box you'd be better of watching Nickelodeon. The
British papers have far more on line about what is happening in the U.S.
than any U.S. publication, because the U.S. publications broadcast what is
interesting to "Americans," such as which Hollywood whore didn't wear
panties today or is back in jail, or what the empty suit is going to do to
send you $300 for your vote. "Inquiring minds what to know!"
Hahahahahahaha


Right. You can barely look things up in an online dictionary.

Why do you listen to political shills on the radio? Too much time on
the
unemployment line?


Why do you care so much about America if you have no vested interest in
this
great country? You just want to bring us down. Your real name should be
Colonel Taliban.


The subject of this thread is (for unknown reasons) "...the rich get
richer
and the middle class poorer..." which is a natural occurrence under the
circumstances. I've been explaining why that seems to be the case for
weeks.
It's like teaching a pig to dance.

This thread COULD be about boating, when the illegal Cubans build homemade
boats to get back to Cuba.

The U.S. is down, and it won't be getting up. Speaking of the Taliban, you
need to tell the scum you elect to stop pussyfooting with them, instead of
spending your money to import them into your country.


According to you. Mr. Quitter. Who cares what you think. You have no stake
in this great country.

I'd say don't let the door hit you on the way out, but that ship has sailed.

You're just whining. That's certainly not true, unless you believe the US
is
a communist country... I wouldn't put that past you, of course.

You don't have a clue about the US, the US economy, or the great people
who
live and work here.

Go whine to your current gov't. I'm sure they'll listen.


You need to grasp that it will make no difference to me which direction the
U.S. goes. I've taken substantial countermeasures to act according to the
conditions. I closed my plant, moved to where production is affordable, and
have far broader markets than before. That's not whining, it planning.

There is NOTHING structurally, policy driven, trade agreement driven, or in
the attitudes of the vast majority of the population that will move the U.S.
in the direction of multi-level economic output. My serious recommendation,
seeing that the elected "representatives" either do not understand what they
have enabled, or have directly interfered and undermined, is that the U.S.
population CAN change the direction. Vote with your dollars. If you don't
want to (for an unimaginable reason), quit complaining about "the economy."
The principles, the destructive direction that took your country to its
current position, and the solution are simple. Changing dirty underwear in
November is not the answer, nor is keeping the old underwear.

As long as my products enter the U.S. I have a stake. There are strong, and
growing markets elsewhere however. I don't care who pays the bill, as long
as its paid. The middle class will get "poorer" as long as they maintain
the same attitudes and sloth they've had for the past 30 years. It IS self
correcting, but over a term of several generations. On the other hand, it
can be changed in MONTHS if discretion were used in purchasing habits.

Oh yes it does. You can't help yourself but to put us down. If you're just
doing it for sport, it's time for you to move on. You gave up. Quit. Good
for you. You made a nice business decision, but don't pretend that you care
about the US.

This is a great country, and we don't need critics with no vested interest
trying to bring us down.

Cheap consumer products and automotive parts Asian car makers export to the
US. My other business is high end food products, of which 2/3 go to Asia, as
it's affordable there.

Try to appreciate that the U.S. IS down, it needs to reverse the trend to
maintain the best standards possible.

I explained the solution. What's your plan?

You explained nothing about a viable solution. You just ranted about "taking
back" the country. Meaningless.

We're in a recession. They've happened before. The current administration is
doing all it can (anything less would be political suicide) to turn things
around. The Dems in Congress are doing _some_ of what's needed, e.g., the
last effort was today with the small business loan bill that Obama signed.
They aren't doing enough and are afraid of their own shadow for a couple of
reasons. One reason is that they're cowed by the frenetic ranting and
threats from the Reps/Teabaggers. Another is that they have been
historically (although inaccurately and incompletely) viewed as tax and
spendthrifts.

We need to continue along the path of economic reform. We need to
reintroduce and reinforce regulations that have been removed, gutted, or
ignored. We need to reduce the military budget in a responsible way (we
don't want to add to the unemployment roles by dumping a bunch of people on
the street), we need to continue to extricate ourselves from two wars, we
need to stop funding some of the European/Asian military bases, we need to
expand healthcare coverage, tax the top 2% more, reduce the size and scope
of the biggest banks, increase our infrastructure funding, and most
importantly stop listening and start ignoring blowhard naysayers and
fundamentalists.
