Message:: [QUOTE="goldcollector, post: 4708286, member: 9088"]Those things are not "flag waving patriotism" but rather Facts. The US is #1 in well everything. The nature of jobs has always been dynamic. That's nothing new. Designed in California made in China. What's the problem. You want a factory here where we put cellphone parts together. It's just not a lucrative thing. Yes there are plenty of unemployed. That's on them. There are plenty of jobs. Here in Seattle McDonalds is offering $22 an hour, 40 a week guarantee and that's to start. ??? And they can't hire enough good workers. At $880 a week = $46,000 a year. So would a cellphone assembly job even be able to find workers ?I have been hearing for years how the USD is done, but it's amazing all the USD does is appreciate relative to other currencies like constantly. I remember the pound was worth 2 dollars now it's $1.25. The euro was worth $1.60 now I believe the dollar is worth more. The only thing the world had in us was energy dependence and that's completely gone now. Capatilism works great when the vast majority are broke and the vast majority are broke. Really a 5 month "crisis" should not require 2 bailouts. People have been screaming about hyperinflation for 15 years and the fed has had to work overtime to prevent deflation. Printing up dollars does not equal inflation when nearly everyone is still broke.[/QUOTE]
