My statements are about as related as yours. First of Canadian money is "at parity with the US dollar" because Obama is printing them as fast as the pressed can go and the rest of the world sees that... IOW you decided to dodge the issue completely Reply: When I was a kid in the mid 1950's we went to Canada and the Canadian dollar was a lot more than it is now. Was about $1.25 US to the Loonie. So the amount of unionization has zilch on the exchange rate. The problem is we have overspent, and you and a lot of other overspenders do not want to feel any pain. So you decide to screw the next couple generations and figure you will be dead and buried by the time the bills have to be paid. Yep, Turdeau buried us in debt with a worthless dollar for awhile. In fact we never did pay off Turdeau's indiscretions, it just kept on growing. Same crap Obama is doing now, but admit Obama-debt spend is mind boggling. -- I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with fleabagger debt. Reply: Same thing Japan did, and they have been stagnant for a decade. They are better off than us, as they at least figured how to cash in manufacturing. Make the high priced stuff and assemble it in low cost areas. Tax anything that competes with them, or make requirements that prevent importation to Japan. Trouble with Japan, is that in the "lost decades" the standard of living decreases at a slow but steady rate. Population is decreasing as people can't afford kids. Before the disaster, population was actually shrinking faster than GDP. Japan is an economic mess right now. The disaster will accelerate their decline. Tehy are already some of the highest taxed people on the planet. I really doubt the Japanese are better off than Americans. But I am dealing from what I read, never lived there. But I think your a hell of a lot better off in the USA (or Canada). -- I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with fleabagger debt. |
