Guest Tony n Terrific Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 We're going to see a significant rise in protectionism. There's no way around it," says Pettis. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8...=rss-topstories Link to comment
dnoblett Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Problem is that much of manufacturing has been exported overseas, and with this Cap and Trade (TAX) stuff in congress, moving manufacturing back to the USA just makes no seance. One way or the other, the clowns in government are trying to push the economy over the edge from a recession into a depression. Can you say "INFLATION" ? Lets see, TAX for Carbon Emissions on things made in the USA, or TAX things made overseas. When will they STOP spending money they don't have or raising TAX that people cannot afford to pay?

Smitty Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I would love to buy American, but what can I buy? Seems like most stuff that is still made in the US is just assembled parts made elsewhere in the world. I tend to get on a soap box at this point, but I'll think the box is broken from my jumping on it so much lately... SC Link to comment

griz326 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 This is the end game that talk show callers warned about in the 70s and 80s. At the time, they came off as real wackos; today it appears they may have been prophets or sages. The reality is that this problem has been a long time in the making. It makes me feel sorry for Madoff, the severely punished ponzi scheme amateur, who should have watched the real pros in US politics to learn how its done. ...and no...I don't believe there's any saving the US now...

This is when they started the plans for a one world econ. But I am sure they figured that the USA was going to be at the top the whole time. Notice I did not say one world order.......

whome? Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 USA business bosses made the choices. no one complained when they had a easy credit and easy service job, things have change and continue to change. saw a interesting saying that may explain it "eyes wide closed" not true .. for years people have asked how can you sustain an economy based on service industry ... but you cant fight city hall and corruption and greed ... some very smart people saw this a long time coming ... but with freedom comes responsibility ...but when most of the people are watching american idol and discussing it for months about who will be the winner it is easy to understand how we can continue to elect clowns. I just saw where the former mayor of washington was arrested again. This clown has been arrested so many taxes, still owes back taxes to the US govt. and yet was relected to a fourth term as mayor after being convicted and is now current a city council member who can go to charity ball and buy his current girlfriend an 800 USD coat but still owes back taxes, and is freaking proud to say it is his right to do this.

rogerluli Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 This is just too good to keep to myself. Rio is Rio Tinto, a large Australian mining company. The Shanghai office of China's State Security Bureau accused the three local Rio staff and senior Australian executive Stern Hu of bribing Chinese steelmakers during tense iron ore price negotiations this year, said the China Securities Journal. "This seriously damaged China's economic security and interests," said the paper, published by the state-run Xinhua news agency. "The activities of Stern Hu and the others violated Chinese law as well as international business morality." Bribery, graft, corruption... Never happened before in China... Link to comment

For all the problems occurring; are they not long overdue; And maybe not just for the US but the global economy needs a wakeup. Whoever is best able to sustain the changes may provide lessons for the future. Link to comment
