Now how is Mr. Special Interest who is yapping about getting rid of special interest in Washington going to deal with this?

Kerry, what a joke, Mr. King of special interest, against beefing up the military, against beefing up intelligence, against the military itself and its mission is going to be in for a real bad *** whooping…

 

For those of you mad at companies sending jobs over seas for the bottom line you can thank the American stock market and it's analysts.

If you IT people owned a software company and your biggest customer said we will not pay you more than $45.00 per hour for a C++ GUI developer I bet you would look everywhere you could to find employees to do the work for that pay and yes in order to keep your companies best/biggest/most loyal customer you would look over seas.

We are now entering a new global economy. yes some jobs are going over seas and yes it hurts some now but it will cause stronger economies which in turn will help boost ours. Have you noticed that no one has mentioned that the US is exporting more goods than it ever has. Heck even the great Toyota is now exporting cars that it makes here to Japan!

For those of you who think that buying a GM, Ford, or Dodge is buying American is sadly mistaken. Just read your sticker it tells you how much American content is in your vehicle.

I believe the most unfortunate result of a global economy is that we as a people will need to be more "Global" what I mean by this is that we will have to move where the jobs are. No more buying a house and staying in it for 30 years until you retire.

I myself was out of work 6 months this past summer due to a scumbag of a CEO and I had just bought a house and all the stuff that goes with it so my nest egg was smaller than usual. Unemployment bennefits are a joke. And you really learn who your true friends are. Enough of the whining!

Have you looked on Monster over the last year or two? There are thousands and thousands of jobs listed on there. There are plenty of jobs to be had in all sectors, we as a society just have to be a little more flexible.

Peace-

 

True. But the people working in the Japanese owned factories here in the US make much less money and have less benefits than their Ford, GM, and Benz counterparts. That means less toys bought. The global economy will mean less higher paying jobs (30K+/year) here in the future. More job loss will come, and more people will be working more hours for less money.

 

Uhh, Expensive european models like Audi, Mercedes and Porsche to name a few are exported from the States back to Europe.
To give you an example.
A Porsche Cayenne will end up 10,000 Euros cheaper that way instead of buying one here. Add to that shipping costs and 15-20% import taxes
How weird is that!!

US manufacturing grows for 10th month

"It looks like the factory sector is really ramping up and is now in the midst of a strong, broad-based recovery," Wachovia senior economist Mark Vitner said

We all know what good news for America means...

 

"The deficit narrowed for the first time in six months despite the highest prices for imported oil in nearly 22 years, which helped pushed overall imports to a record as well.


"The narrowing of the trade balance now looks to provide a favorable impact (on) second-quarter output," said Richard Dekaser, chief economist with National City Corp. in Cleveland.


Jim Glassman, senior economist with J.P. Morgan Securities in New York, said the report should prompt forecasters to raise their estimates of second-quarter growth by "a half a point or so," depending on the June trade numbers. "
